When coping styles or life experiences challenge our ability to navigate the world, we often need a guide to help get a different perspective and learn new skills. Chronic distressful emotions/stress, burnout, negative inner dialogue, communication and relationship problems, problematic conflict styles, unmet needs/desires, trauma symptoms, and other difficulties lead to emotional distress and disease. Decode your emotions, manage stress/anxiety, cultivate wisdom, move from depression to finding your passion, resolve grief/trauma and help reclaim your joy, transform unhealthy habits, improve relationships while focusing on what's meaningful for a lifetime of self-awareness and acceptance.
We get wounded in relationship, we get healed in relationship. My specialty focuses on relational health and the body's ability to manage stress, anxiety, rest, and be in healthy relationship with ourself/others -- relationship/sexuality, trauma resolution (sexual/physical abuse, early bonding issues, shock trauma), anxiety/stress, grief/loss.
I use an eclectic approach that accesses the mind/body/spirit for a holistic approach to wellness. Tops down (cognitive/wisdom approaches), bottoms up (body symptoms/sensations, emotions, the unconscious) to discover parts of the psyche that want expression while holding the spiritual aspects of human existence and meaning making.
