What matters to me is helping people find the resources they need to make the changes they want to see in their lives, starting from the inside. I work from a trauma-informed consciousness, supported by awareness of the effects of toxic stress on the body and nervous system. I work with adults and adolescents. In my experience, many people live with unresolved grief and trauma. This can create a sense of stuckness in life, that in many cases may be rooted in the nervous system. I use talk-based, somatic, meditative, and creativity-centered approaches to help the people I work with create more peace of mind, and ease in life. Each person's situation is unique. By exploring the influences and experiences affecting your life we can work together to discern the path forward that feels best for you. I invite you to call or email to arrange a time for a free initial consultation.
