YOUR WISDOM REVEALED
Embodiment
I believe that embodiment is the portal to an authentic and meaningful life. Our truth lives in our bodies - in our hearts, minds, and bellies. It is through this awareness and connection to our bodies that we connect to who we are on the most deep and profound level. Though it is not always easy, reconnecting to our embodied selves is the most energy efficient path to living full and connected lives.
Western society fuels disconnection; unfortunately, few of us are left unimpacted. Complex trauma, developmental trauma, attachment trauma, relational trauma, and cultural trauma disconnect us from ourselves. It is no easy feat to reconnect to ourselves but I am committed to supporting you in finding your way back. I am on the path beside you.
Female Nervous System Specialist
My primary focus is supporting female clients that are challenged with developmental, complex, attachment, relational, and cultural trauma. My approach is neurobiologically informed and physiologically aware. I use applied neurology and neurosomatics to rehabilitate the female nervous system. You will learn how to metabolize emotions and build resilience for a full life.
Together, we bring awareness to how outdated coping strategies from earlier traumas are showing up for you today. Awareness allows agency. A robust nervous system is the foundation for this awareness to blossom into your lived reality. Capacity fuels choice about how you want to meet challenges in the present.
Recommitting and choosing to be in our bodies every damn day - is a spiritual practice
Heart & Humor
I bring heart, humor, and humility to my present-centered and somatically-informed therapeutic approach. I am a firm believer that the acceptance of all parts of ourselves, our experience, and one another is foundational in the healing of our relationships to ourselves and each other. Acceptance does not mean approval but it does include acknowledgement - we cannot transform that which is not above the line of awareness. Nothing is taboo and all of you are welcomed. Through resourcing my clients with tools to regulate their bodies and in turn support their growing tolerance for emotions and sensations, I am able to then act as a mirror to the inherent wisdom that is opened up in my clients through the process of healing awareness. Non-pathologizing, non-hierarchical, equitable, and client-centered are ideals that I move towards in my efforts toward the integration of the body, mind, and spirit of my clients.
I am honored and inspired to be a witness to our shared healing.
