Provider information

Description

Change often involves letting go of strategies that we initially developed to protect ourselves. Giving up familiar patterns and habits (even those which are no longer helpful or adaptive) can be scary. I help clients regulate anxiety in the face of change.  I support clients to tune into the wisdom of their core, adaptive feelings. When experienced fully, these healthy emotions provide important information about basic needs and guide us to act in ways that better fulfill these needs. This empowers clients to live more fully and freely, with greater satisfaction.
