The work

We each have an innate ability to heal. Within each of us is an intelligence that knows what is needed. By connecting with this intelligence, we are led…

through paying attention together, validating and reconnecting with parts of self that have become estranged, releasing energies that are no longer useful, and reconnecting with the internal resources that can restore and empower, we receive the benefits that our challenges offer, restore strength and wholeness, and come into relationship with our self and our purpose.

How I work

An integrative approach

Body

The body holds the memory of all we have experienced. By bringing attention to what the body is holding, we can help it process and metabolize disturbing experiences and find healing.

Mind

When we seek to understand the parts of the personality that hold strong feelings or engage in problematic behaviors, we can begin to see their purpose in trying to help or protect us. This allows us to bring compassion and to cultivate more communication, cooperation, and integration between our parts. I offer EMDR and IFS to support this process.

Spirit

Spiritual connection can be a useful resource in the healing process. I respect all beliefs and take my lead from you in discerning what is useful. I offer support in accessing your own insight and truth.

I offer a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space to navigate this process — holding unconditional positive regard, and trusting that each individual is doing their best, given their past history and present resources.
