You may find yourself feeling lost and overwhelmed. It may feel like you never got the handbook for adulting. When people talk about feelings and needs, you might feel so different that it almost feels like you’re from another planet. You’re ready for a supportive space to feel more connected and sink into who you are.

Hakomi therapy utilizes mindfulness to help us access unconscious beliefs. By slowing down we begin to have a greater ability to shift our patterns of interacting with ourselves and the world.

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.
Traumas of all types leave lasting imprints in our nervous system. The body remembers. Sometimes that can lead us to feeling panicky, overwhelmed, shut down or even angry. Sensorimotor therapy uses the body to help our nervous system learn to find safety once again.

The heart of what I do is support folks in being more authentic in their lives and relationships.When I work with couples and relationships, I’m interested in helping support you in figuring out where you have gotten stuck. That might mean helping you untangle from the cycle of conflict, re-igniting passion back into your connection, healing old hurts, talking about tender topics, and finding more relational security together.
When I work with individuals, I’m interested in helping you learn more about who you really are, and what might be getting in the way of showing up that way in your life. That might include discovering your needs, learning more about how to feel your feelings, healing old hurts, getting support with boundaries, and making space for you to sink into being fully you.
