About

Often, we experience moments in our life that define our perspective, where we feel like we "learned" something. However sometimes, especially in the face of trauma, the lesson can feel like it leaves our world upside down; "The world isn't safe," "I can't be trusted to make good choices," "I'm a bad person." And because these lessons once helped us to get through the hard thing, we don't stop to examine if they are perpetuating our suffering. In my practice, I support clients to revisiting those lessons, exploring their assumptions, and the ways in which their perspective shapes their reality and capacity to experience safety.
