About My Clients

I work with clients who are often grieving experiences they never had. I support people who experienced childhood losses or disruptions, who may have felt alone or scared when they were young. These early wounds sometimes feel like blockages, paralysis, overwhelm and a loss of meaning later in life. Together, we will listen closely to your inner life so that healing can take place. I work well with clients who are seeking a safe relationship in which they can fully feel and know themselves.

My Background and Approach

My approach is warm, genuine, playful and direct. Our sessions may at times be lively and full of humor, and at other moments may be more subtle and engaging of the unknown, making space for what is sometimes hard to articulate. I welcome and encourage feedback on how our sessions are going. We will work to build awareness of your experience in the present moment. Sometimes this may look like slowing down and staying with a thought or feeling, investigating it further. There may be times that we work with movement, or body-based grounding techniques, to help restore a sense of well-being to the body. I welcome you to bring in dreams, synchronicities and experiences from your spiritual life in support of your healing. We may look at them symbolically and how they pertain to your current dilemmas. I can also support you finding concrete solutions in navigating challenges related to self-esteem, relationship dilemmas, work-related problems, as well as other areas of life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Sometimes life requires us to find new scripts from those we were handed from one's family of origin, or larger culture. I support clients as they navigate the tension between the needs for both freedom and belonging. I am deeply invested in supporting those who seek to become more self-aware and whole. I believe each individual's journey has an impact and creates transformation in the larger systems that need healing in our world. The practice of Metta (loving kindness) inspires me to continue supporting health and wholeness in others. May all beings be safe, happy, healthy, and with peace.
