When we discover and learn to honor our needs, we are able to bring more authenticity into our relationships. When we discover the needs of our partners, we are able to be in true collaboration with them. I will use tools from NVC in order to support you in finding your relational autonomy, communicating your needs, and learning how to collaborate around your stuck points.

Accepting Clients-WEEKDAY SESSIONS ONLY(no evenings)- TELEHEALTH ONLY -"Sometimes I wrestle with my demons, sometimes we just snuggle" -This quote speaks so well to my work as an IFS therapist. As an IFS therapist, I believe that our wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of ourself but by inviting in ALL parts of ourself, which all want to play a positive role in who we are.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) teaches us how to use compassion to access our own feelings & needs & how to communicate with others in an effective way so that everyones needs can get met. It is an perfect model for those looking to improve their relationships with themselves & others. I trained with NVC's founder, Marshall Rosenburg, & I have over 15 years practicing & utilizing NVC with couples & individuals. I continue to deepen my NVC practice & learning by attending an NVC group for myself.

Compassionate (Non-Violent) Communication identifies feelings and needs, reduces negative thoughts about others, invites empathy, and increases self-agency. NVC directly and immediately empowers the speaker.

Nonviolent communication is a skill I teach both individually and in a group. I utilize and teach its core skills of nonjudgmental observation and taking ownership of feelings without blame in my work with clients.

I use nonviolent communication (NVC) as a tool for helping those who are new to awareness-based communication methods, sharing their emotions and needs, or as a first step in beginning to build one's capacity for more authentic communication. I see NVC as a stepping stone for many looking to deepen their communication with partners, friends, and others.

Nonviolent Communication (or NVC for short) provides tools for accessing our own feelings and needs with compassion, and being able to communicate with others in a skillful way. It is an excellent toolkit for those looking to improve their relationships with themselves and others.

Lorraine Storm

Licensed Professional Counselor

Nonviolent Communication is an excellent tool to learn what your own feelings and needs are, as well as how to express them to others in a way that opens the conversation and increases understanding, rather than creating or perpetuating a conflict where each party is trying to 'win.' This will help you develop more compassion for yourself and others, and deepen meaningful connections with others

So many of us don't have a vocabulary for what we are truly feeling and needing in any given moment. Nonviolent Communication is a system that helps us discover and understand what we truly need, and gives a roadmap for how to communicate about those needs with ourselves and others.
