My approach to working with people is based on the principles of Awakening, Healing and Action

Awakening

is the recognition of our innate wholeness. It’s a knowing of our deep interconnectedness with all of life, including our human family and the web of life. Through deepening in this recognition, our self-improvement projects can fall away and we can be at ease and more effective in our actions. 

Action

is the process of moving toward emotional wellbeing rooted in compassion and essential wholeness. Through processes such as parts work, nervous system restoration, and compassionate attending, our emotional weather patterns and conditioned tendencies are not problems to be fixed but opportunities for deepening wellbeing. 

Healing

emphasizes listening to our inner wisdom and deepest calling to respond to our world in crisis, while addressing any “obstacles” that show up in regard to our life work as opportunities for awakening and healing.

My work with individuals is driven by whatever is most alive and important to each person. You are not someone to be fixed or changed. You are welcomed in your wholeness and your parts, your great heart and broken heart. Through deep listening to you, we follow the vital threads of your unfolding life.

Here are the areas where I can be most helpful:

I combine psychological, mindfulness and trauma-/wellbeing-informed approaches, grounded in an understanding of the multiple intersecting planetary crises.

Emotional Resilience
Feeling your feelings without being flooded, and finding resilience without bypassing what you need.

Deep Listening
A space for grief, heartbreak, anger, fear, etc. to be deeply heard while reflecting back your innate wisdom, dignity and wholeness.

Parts Works
This is an effective, empowering, non-pathologizing form of healing and leadership development. I can support you in identifying, understanding and befriending your parts.

Nervous System Regulation
Grounded in trauma resilience and awareness practices, I can support settling and soothing your nervous system.

Awareness/Mindfulness
Emphasizing Presence as a healing catalyst, attuning with awake awareness.

Supportive Practices
At the end of our session I can suggest practices or resources that can continue to explore on your own.
