Would you like to change your relationship with yourself and your loved ones? Are you wanting to create new narratives and beliefs other than the stories and patterns that have ruled your life? Do you wish you felt like you belonged, like you could give and receive love more easily?

Discovering new ways of relating to yourself, your inner child, inner critic, your partner, and your family becomes more possible with some good guidance and support. It becomes easier to move through painful emotions and fearful thoughts when we feel safe and not alone.

I draw from my experience and training in somatic trauma healing, including Somatic Experiencing®, a psychobiological approach to renegotiating trauma, to support you in moving through fear and stuckness. I offer safe space to develop friendship with yourself and inner compassion for all you held. I facilitate the deep work of coming alive again in your own life, which changes everything.
