Finding the Help You Deserve

Our past experiences impact us in ways we may not even realize. Our nervous system jumps in to protect us in ways that it has helped us survive in the past (this could look like feeling foggy, anxious, depressed or numb). This often prevents us from operating how we wish to. Working to reconnect the body with the mind to our present, adult self can help resolve this disconnection. I believe that we all deserve to experience connection, empathy, attunement and safety and that this is often the missing piece. My approach draws from somatic attachment, attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology and eye-movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR). Intertwined throughout my use of all of these approaches is a body-centered, relational and somatic approach. I believe change occurs through relational healing, undoing aloneness, developing secure attachments, processing old traumatic experiences and exploring intolerable feelings that together can then become tolerable. Together we can work to reconnect the body and mind.
