About

Each one of us is capable of living a life of authenticity, connection, meaning, and joy. Yet so much can get in the way. Early on, we're taught to believe that something is wrong with us - we're the wrong size, the wrong gender/sexuality/race, have the wrong talents/goals. We're taught to strive for a limited vision of success. On top of these cultural pressures, many of us experience trauma such as emotional/physical abuse. Is it any wonder that so many people suffer from unhappiness, depression, anxiety, self-criticism, and disempowerment? These challenges are interrelated. As we develop strategies to survive in an unhealthy modern world, we lose connection with our true nature. Lasting healing, I believe, involves recovering from past trauma and rediscovering who we really are, and allowing ourselves to live from that place of joy.
