Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.My clients often tend to be the helpers, the caretakers, the family-healers, and the cycle-breakers who are seeking to heal their inner children and meet their true selves. They are the highly-sensitive and empathic, seeking to discover an authentic, compassionate, empowered relationship with themselves in a world that often rejects their gifts and strengths. They are the seekers, the ones who long for an authentic spirituality and connection to the world, and who might be hurting/healing from deep spiritual or religious wounds.
True healing begins with radical self-compassion and self-understanding. Even the parts of ourselves that seem to cause us the most torment, suffering, and confusion often have their roots in a deep, unmet desire to be safe, held, seen, and loved. Darkness can be as much of a teacher as the lighter aspects of our psyches and our lives - and often, when we bring the darkness to the surface and meet it with curiosity and compassion, we will find that it holds the potential for tremendous beauty, transcendence, and healing for us. I offer a secure, compassionate container for you as you move through darkness, grief, and suffering, and find your own way up toward the light once more. |
Being cut off from our own natural self-compassion is one of the greatest impairments we can suffer. Along with our ability to feel our own pain go our best hopes for healing, dignity and love. What seems nonadapative and self-harming in the present was, at some point in our lives, an adaptation to help us endure what we then had to go through." |
