Most of my clients are processing trauma, anxiety, shame, grief, co-dependence, and/or ADHD patterns. They aim to experience more ease and security with themselves and others. As a somatic therapist, sessions include guidance in cultivating body wisdom as a resource to face life's challenges. I offer experiential practices to gain awareness and evolve limiting/adaptive survival strategies. I support adult individuals and couples in learning mindful self compassion and how to communicate with mutual empathy. I hold a non-pathologizing perspective, emphasizing inherent wholeness and your unique capabilities.
Enhancing lifestyle rituals like sleep, diet, exercise, creativity, socializing, nature connection and spiritual practice can be central to themes we work with. Together we can focus on your strengths as well as cultivating a welcoming relationship to both the comfortable and the uncomfortable parts of your Self, making room for more freedom to be you.
The therapeutic process often includes the paradox of nurturing a sense of safety while accepting the innate vulnerability of existence. Whether it be through creative or emotional expression, bridging mind and body, or attuning to each unfolding moment, it is possible to flow and thrive within the wildness that life and loss can bring.
