Ah, this life! In the lyrics of an old Cold Play song, ‘Nobody said it was easy, no-one ever said it would be so hard’. I’ve spent most of my life dedicated to human connection— to self and to other— bringing deep curiosity most to how we can belong deeply to ourselves and purpose and still be loved and belong deeply to one another.

I call it the personal belonging in the universal.

It’s not easy. Yet, it truly is possible. But, we need courage. And each other as witnesses, as mirrors, as guides along the way. That is where I can help.

I’m surmising there are times in your life where you knew there was more to this life, a deep calling, but something seemingly blocking, keeping it from fully surfacing? Or, perhaps you just simply want more depths from your relationships, and to know yourself more and to align yourself more with a life you desire.

Often, we simply need a present other to help us look at the things in the way, or in a different more meaningful way.

Some Challenges We

Can Heal Together:

• Wanting more intimacy in your relationships.

• Feeling sexually shut down or numb in yourself, or losing that ‘spark’ as a couple.

• Attachment issues from childhood (avoidant or anxious) that keep you from showing up honestly and vulnerably in your connections

• Grief from your past relationships.

• Feeling unclear or incongruent around your life values and needs

• Trauma and abuse that keep you stuck in old protective patterns and pain.

• Addictive behaviors that keep you from feeling capable, alive, and as captains and stewards of your own life

• Feeling abandoned, alone, or stuck.

• Parenting from the inside out, instead of how you think you ‘should’!
  

  I can help you heal these things. I’ve been in all these places myself. But, your journey is unique to you, and my desire is to help you trust yourself completely to carve out a life that is created from the very essence you came here with. So, it feels at ease, peaceful, congruent, aligned.

Deeper Emotional

and Physical Intimacy

If you desire more intimacy in your relationships, or to heal sexual trauma in the body, or experience ‘blocks’ or pain that keep you from feeling safe and connected in physical and emotional relationships, I can gently help you heal these deep wounds through somatic practices and mindfulness.

The good news. It starts within you. Trauma and past hurts can lead to protective parts and wounds that impede our connections and keep us from loving fully and receiving completely. These place and experiences need compassion and release. Together we can explore these places in curiousity and compassionate witness and heal these wounds so you can truly exude love and receive love fully.

I am currently training towards a “Sex Therapist Certification” and draw on my training in ‘Internal Family Systems’ and Soulcraft to heal somatic trauma’s held in the body.

“You are not alone. We are never alone. Nor, do we ever need be.”

My Philosophy

Individual Sessions: I draw from an eclectic background and existential perspective. I have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EIFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and use Somatic Based Therapies as well as SoulCraft Modalities (Nature based Soul Work) in my practice.

Couples Sessions: I am currently finishing my training in Emotionally Focused Therapies (EFT) for couples. I use this attachment theory along with my somatic training from my experience teaching contact improvisation and training of body based principles for healing and helping you settle more deeply into one another and yourself. I help you get present and real with one another and offer a deep compassion and understanding of just how hard that is—this road of relating, and vulnerability. I believe when two people show up to do the work, the rewards when done authentically can free you both from old patterns and create more ease in your relating with one another.

Family Sessions: Relationship, logistics, teenagers, career and today’s added pressures; how do we do it all with grace? You have the strength and answers within you to guide your family your way. It will not be perfect, that is not the point anyway. What’s important is that it works for your family. That there is love and enough support for everyone. If you are carrying patterns from your childhood, I can help you heal those and create new life with your kids. It really is possible to shift things…no matter how tough things might seems right now.
