Getting to know yourself, all of yourself, is a powerful act. In fact, I believe it is the foundation for building a life that nourishes, delights and inspires you. Unfortunately, this type of self-exploration is not a simple task. When we are children, it isn’t safe for us to be who we are. There are parts of us that our parents and communities welcome and other parts that they reject. We learn to focus on the parts of us that we are told are loveable, and to hide the other parts, even from ourselves. This helps us survive, but it forces us to disconnect from our true feelings and longings. The life we build from this place is often not a life we fully value, and it becomes hard for us to be present and alive in each moment when so much of what we’re truly experiencing must be kept hidden. In this way, a lack of self-knowledge and self-connection is often the source of much of our dissatisfaction with life. That’s why a large part of our work together will focus on helping you retrieve the hidden and lost parts of yourself so that you can get to know, and befriend, all of who you are. 

How do we do this? The good news is, it happens kind of naturally, as long as we stay embodied. In our sessions, we work with your goals and interests and address whatever is coming up in the moment. It may be a feeling, a thought, an impulse, a sensation, a conflict, an issue you are having in your life or a goal you want help with. Whatever it is, we take the time to get curious about your present-moment experience. We move slowly and use our combined resources and knowledge. To guide us forward, I apply a variety of tools based on my current training in Core Energetics.
