You are not really sure what you may be feeling, but you do not feel like you. Something feels off. Maybe you have gone through some recent life changes and want to feel connected to yourself. Maybe you have recently become aware of some trauma and want to begin the journey toward healing from it. Life can lead us to feel different emotions, which lead to different thought and behaviors. One day we wake up and are not sure how we got here. The incredible thing is, we can heal. We can create space for what we want, for peace, for confidence, to bring love into our lives, because we know how to offer it to ourselves.

To live a life not just in your mind, but in your body is a focus of mine. I offer a person centered counseling approach, integrating specific trauma therapy such as EMDR, IFS and somatic therapy. Somatic therapy may include yoga sensitive therapy, breathing techniques, Reiki and meditation.

It takes courage to ask for guidance. I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless. I will not fix you, for you are not broken. I will not heal you, for I see you, in your wholeness. I will walk with you through the darkness, as you remember your light.
