I specialize in grief, trauma, attachment, anxiety, and major life transitions. I work from a contemplative lens to bring anxious or hurt parts into a container of compassion and understanding. Learning how to hold these parts can be a door to an awakened heart, but they can also come with pain. Holding our own pain can land us into deep empathy, gratitude, connection, and beauty. Our time together may include IFS, mindfulness, attachment work, writing, art, somatic work, and nervous system regulation skills. I'd like to guide you to your own wisdom and the brilliant sanity inherent to your very being.
Pain, whether complicated or simple, ongoing or acute, can be something we learn to be in relationship with. We do not have to 'get through' or 'move on' but rather find ways to allow our fears and and hurts to become a part of the story of being alive. We can integrate the transience and impermanence of this life. In this process, we become fully human.
The larger purpose in my work is to help you cultivate an ongoing connection to beauty and meaning through processing and transmuting mental and emotional symptoms that keep you stuck. Deeply contacting what's underneath is a potent route to feeling alive. How can holding our pain lead to the connection and beauty of being human? Let's find out together.
