We all experience pain and search for healing. This can be overwhelming to us and we can experience a lack of control or hope for the future. Our relationship with ourselves is often impacted, hurt, and internalized through our unbearable experiences of early life relationships. This can leave us feeling isolated and fearful to engage fully in life and with others. We often create subconscious strategies for managing this pain in search of safety and meaning. As we grow, many of the ways that we learned to cope with what was once unbearable begin to feel burdensome and overwhelming and we find ourselves needing something new. In our work together, I aim to create an environment of curiosity to better understand your experiences and coping patterns. In our collaboration toward your goal, we can create healing, change, meaning, new patterns of relating, and coping strategies that allow for more flexibility, adaptability, and less distress within yourself and your relationships. I engage in parts work (Internal Family Systems and Theory of Structural Dissociation), Trauma-Informed practice, and depth focused relational therapy to help my clients navigate their pain and trauma and create vitality and growth within their inner and outer lives.
