Individuals Therapy
Do you find yourself distressed, your inner world a vortex of broken confused thoughts and emotions? Do you feel disconnected from your capacity, unable to untie nagging knotty problems? Are you overwhelmed? Does it feel like you are reaching for strands of yourself, trying over and over, never able to connect to your true potential? Do life’s adventures feel threatening to the fabric of your being, a world of sharp edges, cutting you off from your capacity for ease and joy?
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
— Peter A. Levine
Together, we can re-weave the connection, find the strong and the fragile threads of yourself and with them both, fashion a renewed and deeper sense of wholeness. I support your engaged exchanges, and use dynamic approaches that honor your journey, your strengths and your gifts. We can do this.
I’ve been working with individuals for more than 15 years. I help people work at the level of their comfort to sit with their deeper vulnerable emotions in their window of tolerance. How does this heal?
When we take a step toward feeling our deeper, vulnerable emotions, we experience them consciously. Then we explore how these previously unconscious forces activate habitual protective behaviors that unintentionally run our connections and interactions.
And in the moment of feeling a disconnection, we are able to experience these deeper forces. I’ve seen how this brings individuals back to a secure connection with their deepest self, and gives them a more authentic way of living.
“The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.”
— Maya Angelou
Ultimately, it is your willingness to be present to your inner experience that starts to make connection possible, and I’m there to help you step into this dynamic experience with support.
The healing process is about becoming more conscious of what is running you and an ability to respond with choice.
“Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose.”
— Michelle Rosenthal
Your deeper mental and emotional stability is always available to you. Our work together is to help you access it, learn how to respond when old patterns take you away from that resource, and learn how to come back to your heart.
I am honored to be with you in this project. As a process-coach I help you find new ways of being, discover new pathways to deepening wholeness. I look forward to supporting you. I invite you to call, text, or set up a free 30-minute virtual discovery call to get started.
