My Intention
…is to create a space to gently release what has restricted you and held you hostage, and to access inspiration, imagination, and insight in their many forms.
I believe your pain and struggle isn’t a problem to be solved — it’s the source of your deepest truth and all that you desire.
No part of you is separate, and all of you belongs.
I like to imagine that each of us is a gorgeous, glimmering web of thoughts, feelings, sensations, beliefs, memories and longings that are intricately woven together. If you touch just one of these threads, all of the others will inevitably reverberate and respond.
Perhaps some of these threads, or whole portions of the web, have by necessity remained untouched and knotted up for a long time. The entire web already exists perfectly; what’s needed is just to slowly untangle and gather up the missing threads…
So you can re-inhabit the fullness of who you are.
My Approach
As a Gestalt therapist, yoga teacher, and long-time student of the mind-body connection, I know firsthand the level of transformation that is possible when all parts of us are welcomed and heard.
Embodied
Your body contains within it all of your history, traumas, past hurts, future longings and deepest wisdom. It knows what you need to feel whole and complete. By befriending and listening to our body’s messages, we tap into our powerful inner knowing and guidance system. We’ll work directly with your physiology and nervous system, not only the story of what has happened, in order to gently resolve stored traumas at their root and gain access to an embodied intelligence that goes way beyond what we can “know” with the rational mind.
Relational
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation; we’re hard-wired for connection, intimacy, and a sense of belonging. I show up as my fully human, authentic self; far from a distant, blank-slate therapist, I share my perceptions and insight, help guide your awareness, and approach the relationship with an open curiosity and great care. My own personal life challenges led me to this work — I have a ton of compassion for this human experience, and a profound appreciation for the power of being witnessed and understood.
Creative
This work is inherently creative, a collaboration that evolves moment to moment. It is in the present moment that our creative potential exists — this is where true change can happen. We’ll explore together what is happening in the present moment and what is wanting to emerge, and incorporate body awareness, visualization, breathwork, mindfulness practices and other Gestalt methods to allow for deep integration and change to be felt on a cellular level.
