WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU

CODEPENDENCY

Healing co-dependency is one of the most powerful steps on the healing journey, since it is usually a response to childhood and attachment trauma.  As humans we are wired for acceptance and at times that need will create adaptative behaviors of self-neglect and repression of the true authentic self. Clients develop the skills to finally be able to set healthy boundaries without guilt and unapologetically stepping into their own embodied power and self-acceptance.

EMOTIONAL AWARENESS

Emotional shut down is a common result of childhood and attachment trauma. Many people are disconnected from themselves because there was no one there to help them navigate their inner world. Their only option is survival mode which often gets in the way of connecting safely with others and others feeling safely connected to them.  Clients develop a rich inner self-awareness when they discover their bodies inner knowing and emotions.  It opens the door for true inner connection and lasting healthy relationships.

CHILDHOOD & RELATIONAL TRAUMA

Attachment as well as unhealed childhood trauma will leave an imprint of fear and abandonment on our nervous system. That imprint can be repeated in our adult relationships, feeling like the pain never ends. Together we will work through your attachment wounds in a loving and supportive safe space so that you can create sacred home within yourself. Clients develop the skills to respond from a place of safety and integrity, rather than reacting to their triggers. From this new integrated space, you will develop skills for safer and healthier meaningful connections.

RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING

Humans are hard wired for love and connection. However, life here on earth can cause many attachment ruptures that prevent us from experiencing safe and healthy connections.  Hence, “marriage is the unfinished business of childhood”.  Together we will work on navigating trauma triggers, restore trust, foster a connection, and improve communication skills. Clients will walk away with a clear understanding of themselves and their partners creating a deep loving connection.

ANXIETY & DEPRESSION

Anxiety and depression are often the result of what we call complex PTSD.  Prolonged years of unresolved trauma and running from oneself can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious and ultimately depressed. Suppressing childhood pain takes a tool on our systems and inevitably cause an imbalance or dis-ease to our bodies. Together we will map out the best treatment plan for you to help heal your anxiety and depression through somatic and holistic approaches. Clients gain a sense of renewed capacity and joy for life that they didn’t think would be possible.

ADDICTION & PAIN

One of the deepest wounds we struggle with as humans is “shame”, and shame is always a companion to addiction and pain.  As children all we really desire is feeling connected, safe, seen, soothed and secure. The lack of these needs can often result in a manifestation of addiction and physical pain as well as health issues. Breaking the cycle of that pain is one of the big focuses of the work we explore together with understanding and patience.  Clients learn to love and accept their shadow parts with compassion and find a place within themselves that feels like a warm safe home.
