Every session begins with YOUR intention for yourself. From there, we will explore what stands in the way of your hopes and goals. As an attachment oriented relational therapist, I understand that healing is only possible within safe and authentic relationships. In our work together I think of myself as a loyal guide who can only travel with you through emotional depths I have explored myself. Because of that, I continue to receive regular support, supervision, and continuing education so that I can remain present and connected to myself as we traverse challenging terrain together. By holding a secure footing in the present moment, I am able to assist you in tracking your disconnection from authentic emotions and aspects of your experience. In this way, we are able to bring curiosity and understanding to old strategies and beliefs so that they no longer define your sense of self. Together, we reconnect to the emotions and truths that were once too overwhelming to contain. As you gradually reconnect to these disowned emotions and energies, you become unstuck. From this place, clients report feeling more alive, more in tune with their inherent rights and needs, and increasingly more connected to a stable sense of self-trust and acceptance. When we stop repeating and projecting the unfinished material of the past, we free ourselves to live in the present moment. The strategies we learned to survive are available if we need them, but they no longer control our lives. We learn to live as humans who are connected to their heart.
