Are you caught in a cycle of dysfunctional relationships?
Struggling with self-esteem, boundaries, & distinguishing fantasy from reality?
You’re not alone and there is a way forward.
My Process
Relational trauma requires relational repair, which is why my work is rooted in attachment theory, as well as the neurobiology of the interpersonal experience. I integrate cognitive techniques, mindfulness, felt-sense inquiry, and other methods.
In our work together you’ll focus on getting to know your Authentic Self, the Self you were born with and is still with you today, but hidden under layers of who you thought you had to be to survive in the world. This is an empowering process that leads to an ability to appropriately value yourself and self-esteem (to esteem from within instead of looking to others for your value).
We also begin boundary work, while moving toward a functional relationship with reality. All of this leads to better self-care and a more natural ability to live in moderation vs. moving from one extreme to another.
You can’t
be true to yourself and play small at the same time.
My Approach
My coaching approach is attachment-focused and rooted in Pia Mellody's model of developmental immaturity (aka codependence), as well as Kelly McDaniel's groundbreaking concept of Mother Hunger®.
I combine these transformational models of recovery with my experience as a trauma therapist, and what worked for me in my own recovery from love addiction, to create a relatable program of self-discovery and healing.
My goal is to help you truly get to know yourself so that you’ll feel empowered while making steps to change your life, and to love yourself enough to keep going long after our time together is done.
