About Me

It didn't start with you. Those burdensome feelings & beliefs actually make perfect sense if we look at your lived experience with compassionate curiosity. But now it's up to you to take back your nervous system & access a felt sense of safety to reach your goals. (And there's grief work to do there for sure!) So let's do it together, since both rupture & repair take place in relationship & through experience. Whether we're co-creating safety together, or whether you're creating it in relationship counseling with someone in your personal life, let's meet those unmet needs and create a secure attachment with yourself and others. I'll draw from IFS, Polyvagal, Gottman, EMDR/ART, EFT, AEDP, and PACT, etc. For relationship work, that'll include self & co-regulation skills with a body-based focus & new ways of relating to & connecting with each other. For individual work, that'll include slow & mindful tracking, exploring, honoring & soothing of the pain that leads to stuckness. You CAN start to feel safer in your brain-body! That'll shift how you relate to everything & everyone, including yourself. And although you can't change people or some circumstances, you CAN have greater access to choice rather than being led by compulsions. Let's discover & re-write the internal scripts that guide you. There IS hope. You are not alone!
