Writing facilitator, meditation instructor, psychotherapist.

Working at the intersection of trauma-informed therapy, somatic practices, meditation & mindfulness & stress reduction there is the possibility of insight, health, greater ease and joy. What might happen when we are close with ourselves, really intimate, when we can find a place to rest, right in the middle of everything? There is so much possibility.

Turning our attention to the heart of our experience - our grief, our sorrow, the denied or unmarked moments, experiences that have been cast out, cast away, the unspeakable, un-witnessed moments. And also joy, sweetness, connection and love, we often turn away from these too. We can bring curiosity and wonder and kindness to the usual habit loops of the mind and heart to see what is possible even amid our darkest of moments to explore what really matters .

Our work together might include:

• exploring grief, loss, heartbreak & sorrow of all kinds (including anticipatory grief and/or ongoing grief due to the death of a loved one, relationship change/loss, major life transitions, health changes or life threatening illness)
• exploring body-centered meditation and mindfulness skills that increase our capacity to be present in our day to day lives.
• modalities and practices that assist in healing from trauma including EMDR.
