"You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop" ~ Rumi.
My offerings are woven through the lens of multiplicity, integration and connection. I am therapeutically attuned to walking besides adults whose embodied sense of self is deeply wounded, fracturing their self-concept, significant relationships and their place in the world.
My work centers visceral (from within the body) experiencing due to complex life circumstances, relational hardships [abandonment, disrupted/ neglectful attunement, intrusion, violation, narcissism], intergenerational trauma/ oppression, sexual assault, and intimate partner violence.
Talk therapy, such as CBT or a top-down Psychological approach, privileges memory, behavioural strategies, and meaning-making. These frameworks override our unmet longing for embodied safety and interpersonal attunement.
My practice focus includes
~ Experientially led emergent-creative modalities integrating our body, brain, emotions, spirit, and capacities to shift from vigilance towards ease and connection.
~ Attending to felt sensations, restlessness, fatigue, burnout, grief, overwhelm, anxiety, tension, and isolation.
~ Somatic resourcing from the impact of traumatic stress, imprinted as rumination, shame, guilt, and self-sabotage.
~ Tending sensitively to emotional distress, panic, pain, hypervigilance, emotional safety, and unease.
