It is difficult to feel stuck, frustrated, or hurt in relationships, whether they are romantic, friendships, familial, ones that we have with ourselves, or ones with the systems, cultures, and environments we live within.

As infants and children, we learn so much about how to engage in relationships by observing the world around us and how we are responded to, especially from our caregivers or the primary people and environments we interact with. We also learn a lot about relationships through our peers and the social environments we are in throughout our life.

Sometimes, what we learn can be very helpful and allow us to feel secure and confident in relationships. Other times, we can absorb a map for relationships that can leave us feeling insecure or afraid, like we are repeating patterns that do not support us.

The good news is that we are wired for connection and it is possible to learn new ways of engaging that don’t replicate painful patterns of the past. In our work together, we will create space to share about your experiences in relationships, both past and present, and to be curious about patterns, themes, or behaviors in relationships that may or may not be serving you. We will explore the response your nervous system and body may have to certain experiences and explore moving through any patterns that are keeping you stuck. We will also be curious about what resources or support looks like in a relationship, whether this is with humans or Nature. 

I believe in taking our time as this area of our lives can be tender. My goal is to walk alongside you on the journey of discovery, noting that there may be times we need to slow down and really give space to what may be needing our attention.
