Healing and change are absolutely available to you
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or burnout, or you are seeking to improve your relationships or career: I am here to listen to you, to support you, and help you find your way through.
There is nothing to fix, but everything to learn
In our sessions, we’ll curiously explore your emotions, triggers or limiting beliefs. The sensations in your body will gently guide us to the roots of your pain and challenges. You may experience a release of emotion, spaciousness in the body, and a sense of possibility.

Addiction
We’ll explore the addiction from a place of compassion: not why the addiction, but why the pain. Whether it’s social media, drugs, alcohol, or coffee, it is
trying to do something for you.
Anger
Your anger and rage of today may be a repressed emotion from childhood when the expression of anger was not safe. It could also be that you are feeling healthy anger,
necessary to protect yourself and the ones who need your protection. We’ll explore whether you are coming from a reactive or responsive place.
Anxiety
Some people may have a cognitive reason for their fear and anxiety, others may feel anxious in their body, without knowing why. In both situations, while anxiety
may have developed as a coping mechanism, an alarm system much needed in childhood, it is no longer useful today in the absence of an immediate threat. We will work towards bringing your nervous system back to an experience of safety.
Behavioral issues
You may be having a recurring behavior that you perceive as problematic or harmful. When approached with compassion, the part of you that makes you behave that way will tell us what it is that it is trying to soothe or protect.
Burnout
We will gently explore how you got to this place, what beliefs you hold about performance, productivity, and self-worth, and their root causes. Together, we will work towards a kinder and healthier outcome for yourself.
Chronic pain
What might your body be saying “no” to, where you are not? I know of chronic pain first hand, having had migraines for 20 years. I believe in exploring its origins, the function it believes it has for you today, and in a gentle retraining of the body to not fall back on its default response to stress, by giving you pain, by teaching it that you are safe now.
Depression
Depression has an adaptive function, to “depress”, or push down an emotion that would have otherwise been unbearable or maybe even unsafe to feel or express. I would invite an exploration of what those pushed down emotions are, acknowledging how their depression saved you, and learning to feel those emotions today in a safe environment.
Low self-esteem
Many of us hold beliefs about our not-enoughness, that we are somehow defective or inadequate. And we may believe that - if only we could do better, look better, or work harder - we will become worthy of love. This is a response to childhood trauma. Through Compassionate Inquiry, we learn to see that those beliefs are not true, and we teach our body how it is to feel when we know that we are enough.
Trauma/PTSD
One may be severely impacted by a singular event, such as a car accident or a natural catastrophe, with an inability to move forward in life. One can also be experiencing a myriad of symptoms, ranging from anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, to dissociation, shame, and self-blame as a result of ongoing childhood abuse (Complex PTSD). While the treatment of PTSD requires a multidisciplinary approach, in Compassionate Inquiry, we can learn to hold space for the difficult emotions and to stay connected to the body. In turn, this can alleviate symptoms and diminish reactivity to
triggers.
"Trauma is not what happens to you. It is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you"
