You might be feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, struggling to deal with intrusive thoughts and anxiety, or have unresolved past traumas that affect your ability to cope in the present. Maybe you feel like there is only a thin skin between you and the world, and distinguishing your needs from others’ desires while setting healthy boundaries in relationships can be challenging. Whatever your experience might be, I’m here with you to uncover more safety, ease and joy in areas that have felt blocked, so your authentic self can emerge.
I have a gentle and relational approach and combine evidenced-based practices with mind-body modalities to help you develop an understanding of how your nervous system works and what it needs, learn new tools, and heal patterns from the past that are keeping you from thriving in your current life and relationships.
This work is deep and takes courage, but is also often fun and joyful as we will laugh together, celebrate your strengths together, and build on the resources already inside you. I consider the fit of our relationship the most important first step, and offer a free 20 minute consultation to begin determine if I can be of support to you.
