It is natural for your self care system to want to alleviate pain. You might expect yourself  to just move on, let go or get over it without acknowledging how your experience may impact your relationships, your body, and undermine your wellbeing by denying a vital part of yourself that needs care and attention. When traumatic experiences hinder our flexibility, learned behaviors and protective responses can replace our ability for authentic responses that limit self trust and hinder our creative capacities. Discovering how to begin again, to initiate positive change, discern boundaries that offer you more possibilities and to trust your capacity to sustain a new vision can be hard to imagine when old patterns, beliefs and storylines limit your sense of self. Learning to relate differently to your old sense of self also emboldens your ability to imagine into who you are becoming.  

While considering therapy may bring up self judgement or resistance it can also be ripe with opportunity for facing change with an expanded sense of confidence and curiosity. We will work creatively and collaboratively - utilizing somatic tools, developing mindfulness, and staying open to dreams, images and synchronicities that can offer creative insight and fortify self trust.
