Therapy helps! Witnessing my client’s journey from suffering, stuckness, emotional numbness or overriding pain and reacting, anxiety or depression that limits them, trauma, grief, negative self-talk, and more…and then going through the darkness to come out on the other side is so breathtaking. Gaining insight into the origins of your suffering, unlearning old, unhelpful coping skills, rewiring your brain and nervous system to be able to navigate life with more grace, embodying your survivor self and shedding the victim, learning to feel again in a way that’s fulfilling and not exhausting, advocating for yourself and communicating constructively…..these are all outcomes of therapy that I hope to help you discover. Therapy can take you from suffering to feeling alive again.

Being in relationship can be very challenging, especially with all the pressures of modern life. Many unseen forces play out between couples that often came long before they’ve met. Buried baggage, trauma, family of origin dynamics, not to mention how we’re wired and each person’s perspective on life. It’s a wonder we make it work at all! I’m here to help you step back, unpack your patterns, and learn how to understand each other, communicate and connect in a more intimate and fulfilling way

When we are constantly in a state of fight, flight or freeze it takes a toll on our body and nervous system. We often forget how to get back to a relaxed state. This constant stress can eventually lead to health issues and inflammation. The brain is amazing in that it can change and we can un-learn the habits of living in a state of constant stress or hypervigilance and rewire the networks that help us stay calm. From a regulated (calm) state we can think more clearly, make better decisions, communicate more constructively, engage better in our relationships and heal. In therapy I will teach you more about this and how to rewire your system.

Mindfulness, deep relaxation and guided meditation exercises are evidence based to help release us from states of fight, flight or freeze, reduce our reactivity, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and help give the body and brain the opportunity to re-wire and heal.

I offer deep relaxation and guided meditation exercises to my clients. This is a wonderful tool for learning how to calm the body and mind. This also provides a good foundation in the use of mindfulness tools in everyday life to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms as well as release tension. These exercises can help us get back in touch with what it feels like to relax and be present, skills we often lose in this modern lifestyle or through stressful or traumatic experiences.

Tailored guided meditation recordings/tracks. Working with you I enjoy creating guided meditations to fit your specific needs.

Our dreams are often not what they appear to be on the surface. We try to interpret them from a place of waking logic, when they are formed in the subconscious realm of metaphors and archetypes. They can be a powerful tool in understanding what lies below, what your subconscious is working out and often what your strengths are and what supports you have that you’re not aware of.
