Belonging Is Our Essence......and yet many of us experience situations where we didn't feel valued, heard or seen for who we really are. Whether the message came from our family of origin, our intimate relationships or from cultural oppression, somewhere we got the message that being our authentic self wasn't okay, and sometimes not even safe. I focus on creating a healing space where you won't be judged or harmed as we collaborate to help you learn to be present and be your authentic self, and to shed the layers that no longer serve you. View 5 Photos I have thirteen years working in the field of domestic and sexual violence. This experience has given me a unique understanding of how oppression can undermine a person's sense of self-worth, value, and sense of belonging. I have learned the importance of walking side by side with clients. I view mental health as a culmination of peoples experiences and their adaptation to those experiences. Survival strategies that once worked effectively may now be ineffective or damaging to ourselves and our relationships. Together we can figure out what's not working anymore for you and transform your life.
