Therapy for Individuals

 

You deserve to thrive.

You deserve to live a fulfilling life complete with delight, joy, respectful relationships, and genuine fun! You deserve to speak your truths, maintain your boundaries, feel like you can be seen (and can tolerate being seen) and experience enjoyable and deep physical, emotional and even spiritual intimacy.

Facing your personal, collective and ancestral history, and understanding your unique imprinting, is necessary for healing. We might not always have precise answers to point to what went wrong or where, or, we might recall a rather ideal upbringing where nothing major was wrong or missing and we “had what we needed” or “dealt with it.” 

 

But sometimes we don’t realize what might have been missing.

How even though we got through, we deserved more than what we got. Without complaint, we’ll touch into the sense of loneliness or anger that might be underneath your tendency to withdraw, freeze, or act out.

We’ll pull out the weeds and get at the root of the problem, giving “the flower of you” the water, sun and fertilizer it needs to grow.

No two people are the same: some are cacti and need lots of sun and little water, some are sunflowers and need lots of both.

However you are, you’re welcome.

Together We’ll:

  • Pinpoint the Pattern

    Figure out what the pattern or problem is, what happens in your experience when faced with the challenge, and start to unpack the meaning involved in choosing one approach versus another.

  • Envision Change

    Try on different scripts and imaginal scenarios to envision something new happening. With somatic work, the bottom-up approach gives you a new emotional learning - you have a new experience, imaginally, that enables you to 1) know what actually happened and 2) be able to relate/respond to the situation differently. It’s less effortful and more long-term transformative.

  • Learn New Skills

    Add in skill-building tools, grounding everything in a deep knowing that:
    1) There’s nothing wrong with you
    2) You’re worthy because you're a human BEING, not a human doing
    3) Changing how our brains work changes how our bodies “read” signals, which changes the choices we can see for our intentional behavior, which can change our lives and relationships in ways we’ve only hoped for.
