![]() I believe that deeply understanding who we are in relationships moves us forward in the healing process. From my extensive experience working with issues related to trauma, eating disorders, addiction, relationship dissatisfaction, and depression, I can help you chart a course out of the maze of dysfunction and onto the path of authentic connection to self and others. I am a dedicated advocate for those who feel they do not have a voice, that they are not empowered to heal, or cannot envision a hopeful future.

Identifying and shifting the energy in the body that has negatively impacted your life - the emotional and spiritual dis-ease - that shows up somatically can help you shed the shame, guilt and “not good enough” feeling in order to step into joy and comfort in your own skin. Feeling seen, heard and understood - for who you truly are instead of for who people want you to be - can be a transformational experience. Whether you experienced abandonment, neglect or abuse of any kind - trauma manifests in the body - through discomfort, pain or disease - and can’t be fully healed through talking alone. Pia Mellody defines trauma as “Anything less than nurturing,” and that pain can lead us to cover up who we truly are.
