I work mostly with individuals seeking to heal from abusive relationships. Abusive relationships in childhood, adolescence, and/or adulthood can largely impact one's ability to connect with themselves and others. The world feels unsafe and many of the parts of you that have learned how to protect you may also be keeping you out of touch with everything around you. This work typically involves a combination of interventions to reconnect to your physical, psychological, and emotional self after having to abandon these parts in order to survive these relationships.

Do you often feel misunderstood? Have you been told to toughen up because you are "too sensitive"? Do you long to feel closer to others but feel overwhelmed by the task? Having the capacity for depth and complexity can be difficult to navigate in our competitive, linear-oriented, results-driven culture. Knowing and accepting yourself for simply "you" (not who others think you should be) is an important practice to cultivate and will help release toxic stress and shame, allowing you to connect more deeply with yourself and others.
