Do you struggle to know what you want? Is it hard to commit? In a time of so much uncertainty, it can be difficult to make decisions.  Maybe you feel blocked professionally or creatively. Or, like a lot of us, your struggles show up in your closest relationships. Maybe you’ve dealt with the weight of other people’s expectations and find it hard to listen to yourself or trust your own voice. Or maybe you worry you’ll be misunderstood. Sometimes you wish someone would just tell you what to do, but that leaves you feeling constrained and inauthentic. 
My practice is rooted in the wisdom that we cannot grow, or face our challenges and pain alone. I believe there are so many untapped resources within all of us to help you figure out your path. We can help you discover what you want and move towards realizing it directly and openly—with acceptance and self-compassion, at your own pace and on your terms.
Trained in EMDR, AEDP, and Gestalt, I pay special attention to the body. By attending to breath and movements, we can increase your depth of awareness and unlock your natural ability to heal. We’ll experiment with new solutions so you can take in healthy support, connect more deeply, and respond to life’s challenges with agency, authenticity and ease.
