About My Clients
My clients are ready for change. They are ready to take action to stop the ruminations, catastrophic thinking, and change the limited beliefs that have hindered them for too long. Their bodies have been burdened by it, often carrying tension and unexplained pains. Their relationships have been negatively impacted by it, including the most crucial one with themselves. They want to discard harmful old patterns, have more agency, and reach for their joys rather than fleeing from fears.
My Background and Approach
My intense training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and years working with those living with chronic pain, my long history working with those struggling with addiction, and my decade of experience with meditation, mindfulness and somatic tracking have all come together to support the tools I will equip you with to unlearn the harmful thoughts, narratives, behaviors and habits that don't align with who you want to be. I tailor my approach to your needs, integrating psychodynamic, relational, somatic and cognitive behavioral based therapies. Together we will strengthen body/nervous system attunement, rewire neural pathways and expand your emotional experience to allow healing to occur. We will use a non-judgmental and curious lens and a compassionate container to incite self-efficacy. Let’s explore the wonders of you—investigate how you’ve been engaging challenges, shed light on default responses and gain tools and practices to intentionally move towards your higher self.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I've often said, "I wasn't supposed to live this life." The cards that I was dealt paved a way for me to hate myself, harm myself and choose relationships that only caused me pain. The traumas and abandonments I experienced supported the belief that I was unloveable, unfixable and deserved everything that left me feeling unworthy of a good life. Through my insatiable desire to understand human suffering, delve into personal therapy, countless self-help books and deep dives in psychology, I was able to make small, albeit consistent, shifts in my life. Impactful change isn't meant to be comfortable, but I trained myself to lean into this discomfort, understanding that healing will be unfamiliar and difficult. My desire for a different life was paramount for me. Growth is not linear, but possible for anyone with the gift of neuroplasticity. And although my life is not perfect, I am a world away from where I was. I believe you can be too. "Nobody's free until everybody's free." F.L. Hamer
