You keep ending up in the same place... and you can't see how you got there.

It might be the relationship that looked nothing like the last one and somehow feels exactly the same. It might be the yes that left your mouth before you had a chance to think about it. It might be the guilt that shows up every single time you choose yourself.

You don't need to arrive with any of it figured out. Most of the people I work with come in knowing that something is off and not much more than that... and that is plenty to start with.

My job is to notice the connections that are hard to see from inside your own life. We find the patterns together, and once you can see one, you get a say in what happens next.

If you already understand your patterns and keep living them anyway, you're in the right place too.

I listen to what you say, and I pay just as much attention to what happens while you say it. Your shoulders rise when your mother comes up. Your voice gets lighter right as the story gets heavier. You smile while describing something that hurt you.

Most people have gone years without anyone catching those moments. When I name them, gently and out loud, something usually shifts... because your body has been telling the truth the whole time, and someone finally heard it.

Some people would call this somatic work. I think of it as listening to the body, which is something Indigenous and ancestral healers have done for a very long time, long before it had a clinical name. In session that might look like a few minutes of breathwork, a body scan, noticing where a feeling lives before we talk about it or, when it feels right and you want it, Reiki woven into our time together.

We also talk, think, untangle and laugh. You're a whole person, and the work should make room for all of you, including your culture, your spirituality and the different Parts of you that want very different things.
