It can be really challenging to navigate an ever-changing world, especially if we enter each season struggling to carry the weight of the past. We learn survival strategies that are often hard to unlearn, and it can feel like we will always be stuck in our same old patterns of suffering. I offer non-judgmental support to people who want to find more aliveness in their minds and bodies. Through this partnership, we aim to build your capacity to feel and deal with emotions in kind yet effective ways, and develop compassionate habits that can lead to self trust. In doing so, we can create more room for ease, meaning, and joy. Everyone deserves to be met wherever they are, and your therapy can revolve around your needs and values. My work is rooted in evidenced-based practices such as EMDR, Acceptance & Commitment therapy, DBT, and Internal family systems while integrating somatic-focused tools (breathwork, movement, etc.) that can support the nervous system. I applaud you for seeking professional support, as I know firsthand what it is like to start this process. As a fellow traveler along this weird road of life, I have a deep trust and respect for whatever it took to get you to where you are now. If you want to learn more, I offer free 15 minute phone consultations.
