Chicopee, MA 01013
Hello! I believe in healing that comes through self-compassion, finding a voice, tending to what has been painful, and recognizing self-worth. I work with an awareness to the effects of trauma, and a value for internal strengths. I've been moved to read about being a highly sensitive person, about naming and valuing neurodivergence, about surviving codependency and recovering from shame. My background is in music therapy and spirituality. And I value inclusion and welcome, for cultural community, for LGBT experience, and for all the parts of ourselves longing for home and wholeness.
I value listening with warmth, respect, and empathy, making safe space for vulnerability and depth, encouraging your self-determination. And I delight in creativity, in humor. I will support you as you process life experience, the movement of your heart and spirit, and what it will look like to take more gentle care of yourself.
Looking forward to getting to know you and our time together! I currently am available via telehealth (only). Bless you!
