Individual Coaching

Dedicated time to focus on your growth and well-being

Much of who we are is shaped by our early and formative experiences. As children in environments that lacked emotional attunement, good boundaries, clear communication, all of the above and sometimes worse, we developed strategies to get our needs for connection and survival met. We internalized beliefs - often mistaken - about ourselves, the world, and other people.

These relational strategies and implicit beliefs become automatic and unconscious. What were necessary adaptations for emotional, psychological, and physical survival cease to serve as they once did.

Shifting automatic behaviors and mistaken beliefs that block access to joy and connection or cause harm to ourselves and/or others, starts with making conscious what is unconscious. With compassion, empathy, and new relational experiences we can navigate our lives with less reactivity, more choice and freedom, gaining more access to feelings of contentment, satisfaction, and fulfillment.
