Counseling
Mission
I believe each person comes to session with an innate direction and deeper want for themself, which they wish to integrate into their conscious lives. I stay present and curious; asking questions that assist clients to discern what the present moment asks of their attention. Often, when one's past or a trauma comes up, it is within this context of moving toward what they more deeply want in life. This structure allows for that unintegrated energy from their past to integrate into their current life with more ease.
NARM - Trauma Healing
NARM is a newly established trauma healing therapy modality. The acronym stands for Neuro-Affective Relational Model. Instead of being problem/pathology focused, NARM posits that each person is generally doing the best they can with their current circumstances and that problems/symptoms are survival strategies used to deal with unresolved trauma. These strategies can be resilient and persistent, often, until a new path to healing is learned and integrated. NARM treatment is aimed at resolving these underlying traumas and supporting greater connection to self and others. In NARM sessions, the client sets the pace and creates goals focused on recovery, self efficacy, growth and healing.
