Welcome
“When we let ourselves feel, our inner self transforms.” -Glennon Doyle, Untamed
Why do so many of us avoid feeling? Somewhere along the line, we learned that discomfort was “bad.” Emotions are “too much.” Crying is “weakness.” We all avoid feeling in certain ways and it takes strength to look at ourselves compassionately. Sometimes, we get so good at avoidance, we don’t even realize we are doing it!
It is possible to feel your pain, process it, get support around it, and move on from it. We are all going through something, and I believe we can heal to the point we are inspired by the little things again (which really are the big things). With the right emotional support, we can honor and make friends with our suffering, accept it, and find joy in choosing how we move through it. No one does it alone.
Whether you found yourself here with a diagnosed disorder, emotional symptoms and behaviors you just can’t seem to stop, or are ready to deal with a traumatic event or patterns of abuse, I am here to help you forge your own path to recovery.
If you’re ready to work towards the life you’ve always wanted, I’m ready when you are. Contact me today and let’s get to work.
