You deserve the time, space, and support you need to heal and grow
I don’t view the word “healing” as meaning a person is broken or needs to be fixed, or that we are or should be constant self-improvement projects; but instead I view it as an empowering concept of what it means to meet and accept who we really are (over and over again) underneath the very real impact and conditioning of culture and past experiences, to try softer, not harder, and take responsibility in our lives in order to live and love more consciously in our inherent whole-as-we-are nature.
I offer virtual therapy for residents of North Carolina and New York. People seek therapy for a variety of reasons and every single one is valid— whether you are wanting to process and resolve a traumatic experience(s), support during a difficult life transition, to understand yourself more deeply, or a more specific issue (my specialties are on my about page), my aim is for our sessions to feel conversational, intuitive but intentional. We incorporate both bottom up (somatic based) and top down (cognitive based) approaches for best outcomes. In our first session we will discuss and identify goals together and check in throughout our work together to make any adjustments as needed. Some clients prefer more short-term therapy, but because I tend to be more psychodynamic and attachment focused in my approach, most of my work with clients is long-term, adjusting frequency as appropriate. However, it is based off client need and preference. If we are not a good fit for any reason, I am happy to give appropriate referrals.
Coaching is slightly different than therapy in that no mental health diagnosis or clinical records will be kept. High risk needs (suicidal ideation, self-harm ideation or behaviors, psychosis, active addiction, active eating disorder behaviors, etc.) and concerns are not appropriate for coaching. If a referral needs to be made for a higher level of care, appropriate recommendations will be made. Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Our work together is typically more short term, somatic and present focused with coaching. Even if you live outside of North Carolina or New York, coaching is offered virtually via secure video sessions.
Stay tuned for more retreat offerings as they become available!
As a trauma-informed 200 hour yoga teacher, I have also completed Mindful Resilience for Trauma Recovery training through the Veterans Yoga Project and Yoga For Trauma + PTSD training with David Emerson in addition to trainings in Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra. Our sessions are meant to be tailored uniquely to the individual or small group being worked with. I have created and led small group classes for special occasions from bachelorette parties to funerals (because what a special way to connect with our grief more mindfully and deeply). Please reach out to inquire more about this offering.
