Your Instructor
I am a Pennsylvania-based Holistic Psychotherapist with a specialty in helping emotionally intuitive, sensitive, and deep-feeling individuals thrive in our modern, stress inducing, emotionally-stunted world.
My approach combines the science of understanding our neurobiology, with the compassion of a supportive friend who is helping you understand, accept, and embrace every part of yourself.
It is a modern and holistic shift from the traditional lens of viewing our mental health struggles as 'disorders' that we need to heal from and rid ourselves of.
Instead, I believe that we need to view our mental health symptoms as messengers, informing us of what needs to be re-balanced, tended to, and shifted within ourselves and our lifestyles in order to keep our nervous systems functioning optimally.
As one of my favorite quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn says: "we can't stop the waves, but we can learn to surf."
My life's work is to teach more people how to surf: how to stop running from and resisting their intuitiveness, their tender heart, and the way their nervous systems is wired.... and instead... to confidently ride the waves of this modern life without getting pulled under.
