About My Clients
We are products of our environment, experiences and relationships. Along the way, we have gathered deeply internalized beliefs - some that serve our growth and wellbeing, some that don’t - emotions, both positive and negative, and chronic stress or trauma. All of this has impacted our life and much of what has happened in the past still resides deeply in our body, manifesting as behavioral, relational or emotional struggles, often unexplained and sometimes inexplicable.
My Background and Approach
How can I help you? One of the greatest challenges we face, as we enter psycho-therapy, is uncovering and addressing the deeper emotional wounds and trauma that are manifesting in our lives as depression, anxiety, ADHD and behavioral problems such as substance abuse, relationship conflicts, over-eating, and many more. Our minds and bodies developed these coping mechanisms to protect us from the pain of these difficult emotions. Meditation and "mindfulness" techniques allow us to shift our awareness to what's happening internally and, as we develop this awareness and allow space for these hidden emotions to surface, to begin to process and release the unwanted energy and emotion. By cultivating a non-judgmental attitude, which is key to mindfulness, we develop the confidence and courage to complete this difficult work while simultaneously developing life-long skills of relaxation and embodiment.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Yogi, healer, outdoorsman, life partner, parent...I am very grateful for the many opportunities my life has presented. From the Patagonian wilderness to the Buddhist Zendo and the dorms of a southern boys boarding school, I've been blessed with challenge, heartache, insight, a deep calling to a higher consciousness and to live a simple, purposeful life. Comfortable in the wilderness, laying out framing for a deck and discussing the intricacies of financial, planning - I am always working to achieve balance through independence, connection and spiritual practice. As a healer, I first seek to deeply understand and comprehend my clients' strengths and struggles, as through a mutual understanding, support and compassion, we most effectively work together to build a stronger, more resilient and peaceful you.
