Are you feeling afraid of being misunderstood? Or not truly seen in your relationships? Perhaps repeating painful patterns that have been hard to change? My work often involves supporting you in the deeper awareness of self & how these patterns used to protect you, and now get in the way of your deepest desires. So you can grow into your most empowered self. I work with women, men & couples. I have a lot of passion for the healing of cultural & individual wounds between women & men. To create more understanding & peace between each other. I also enjoy supporting many kinds of relationship structures and dynamics. Finding the balance of truth & harmony together.
My approach is relational & holistic. I use Narrative therapy, Attachment theory, Parts work, Depth, Eco therapy, humor, and a genuine, warm curiosity about your experience. My intention is to deeply listen and reflect back to you, your own inner wisdom & capacity to heal. Bringing mindfulness to your body and the unconscious parts of you needing to be brought into conscious awareness. With kindness, I will challenge the ways you might be getting in the way of the life you want.
I welcome all aspects of your being, especially the parts you don't like. I believe the integration of these aspects can lead to a life feeling more vitality, freedom, and fulfillment. Bringing harmony to your mind, body, heart & spirit. If you are interested in exploring your inner world & patterns to better understand yourself, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.
