You’re also aware that just knowing a bunch of things doesn’t automatically lead to change.

I get it: you want to live a more full life with less anxiety and more connectedness - to yourself, others, and God. But you might find yourself stuck and not sure how to move forward.

Or, maybe things are pretty good overall and you’re ready to dig a layer deeper into understanding yourself and those you care about.

MAYBE YOU:

+ Feel like there are some unprocessed things you’re ready to work through.

+ Are bogged down by thoughts, feelings, or unwanted behaviors.

+ Struggle in relationships and want to become more present and calm.

+ Feel the burdens of relational trauma or complicated family dynamics.

+ Sometimes feel like an imposter and to be more confident with who you are.

That's me

MY APPROACH

CURIOSITY + COMPASSION + SLOWNESS

Attachment is the emotional bond between us and our caregivers. We are influenced by our family of origin regardless of how “good” our childhood was. In order to change the present, we must engage the past.

Together, we’ll explore early relationships with caregivers, family dynamics, and significant childhood experiences. What’s unresolved or unprocessed in the past, can impact the present.

ATTACHMENT FOCUSED

“Everything you judge about yourself served a purpose at the time.” - Gabor Mate

Trauma is experienced by external situations such as war, sickness, and overt forms of abuse. AND, it can also experienced in close relationship. Ongoing abuse (sexual, emotional, physical), abandonment and enmeshment wreaks havoc on the soul.

Unaddressed or unprocessed trauma (wounds) are not stuck in the past. They affect us presently and show up as unwanted behavior, relational issues, shame, etc.

TRAUMA INFORMED

“Trauma is not what happens to you; trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.” - Gabor Maté

Our emotions are experienced in our bodies. Our brain then makes sense of our felt experience and often categorizes it as “good” or “bad.” The problem with that is we learn to disconnect from our body and spend majority of the time in our head.

Our bodies can’t lie to us, but our brain can. Together, we will learn to integrate your body, mind, and spirit (heart) so you can show up with your whole self.

BODY AWARE

“Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going inside ourselves.” - Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score
