Self-Exploration

As you try to balance multiple roles and responsibilities, you can feel like you’ve lost who you are in the process. It’s important to discover your identity independent of your roles and relationships. Maybe you’ve reached the goals you thought you were supposed to have, but aren’t as fulfilled as you imagined you’d be. I can help you explore your values, priorities, and dreams, to help you realize what you really want from life and plan for a fulfilling future.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that supports the body’s natural ability to heal. It balances the energy centers of the body, similar to acupuncture or acupressure. It provides the benefits of meditation, for your whole body. It quiets the mind and helps you focus on the present moment (mindfulness), which allows for clearer thinking and insightful understanding. Most people struggle with meditation. It becomes more frustrating than relaxing, something you “should” do. Reiki is like assisted meditation, you don’t have to learn or practice anything! Each person experiences a Reiki session in their own way. Most people feel deep relaxation, and feel refreshed at the end of a treatment. I provide distance Reiki, so there is no touch involved. You lay down with a pillow and blanket and listen to music while I perform the Reiki treatment. Afterwards, we process what the experience was like for you, and any insights you received.

Family of Origin

As children, unmet needs for approval and unconditional love can leave you with deep wounds that show up in many different ways. You may struggle with feeling like you’re unseen, misunderstood, or never good enough. You may have trouble setting healthy boundaries, or connecting with people. Perfectionism and an overwhelming drive to perform can make life difficult. Instability or conflict in your relationship with your parents can leave you walking on eggshells. I can help you begin to explore your formative experiences, heal your wounds, and show up in a healthier way for yourself and the important people in your life.

Prenatal + Postpartum

I provide therapy for perinatal mood disorders, as well as more general support. Pregnancy can cause unexpected emotions and old issues to surface, and having someone to help you process them is crucial. Creating a postpartum support plan while you’re pregnant can help minimize emotional struggles, and make it easier to get help if issues arise. I can also support you in bonding with your baby, processing your birth story, and adjusting to life with a newborn.

Parenting Support

Do you find yourself saying the same things your parents said (or using the same tone or body language), even though you promised yourself you wouldn’t?

Do you find it hard to connect with your child?

Do you find yourself triggered by behaviors in your child, and you don’t know why?

Do you want to explore the good and bad from your childhood, and decide what to keep and what to change?

Many parents are drawn to peaceful parenting in response to the way they were parented. If your parents didn’t give you what you needed as a child, parenting in a peaceful way can be an ongoing struggle. Processing the experiences you had as a child can help free you from the past, so you can build the future you want as a parent.
