Issues I Treat
The following issues include those I love to address in my work. With each issue are some questions that might be helpful to you.

Neurodiversity
Does my particular flavor of weirdness belong? What might I not know about myself that could unveil self acceptance or a sense of belonging? How might I become more authentic, more connected to myself and my body, and to joy? How does my authenticity affect my relationships and how do I want to respond to my impact?
Identity and Life Transitions
How can I be true to myself and still be faithful to my beliefs, my culture, my relationships, etcetera? How can the unknown be welcome? How can I relax in the face of uncertainty? How can I tolerate being many things at once, even opposing things?
Relationships, Intimacy and Sexuality
Can I be true to myself and also be close to others? How true to myself can I be? How close to others can I be? Do I know how to say no? Do I know how to say yes? What is my relationship to power? What does my body want?
Anxiety and Depression
How can I accept the discomfort of anxiety and listen to the deeper signal it is offering? What is my body telling me and how can I help it to regulate? Where am I stuck and what will allow me to make small changes? How can I accept my stuckness as a source of data and listen to its wisdom? How does my system access the Window of Tolerance, the middle way in the nervous system that is not too wound up and not too checked out?
Addictions and Eating Challenges
What is my relationship to nourishment? What are my eating behaviors showing me about my deeper needs? What is my relationship to connectedness? What are my addictive behaviors showing me about my deeper needs?
Integrating Overwhelming Events (Trauma) and Coping with Stress
How can I honor the survivor in myself? Where am I overwhelmed? Is the danger over, and is it safe now to face what overwhelmed me then? What is my body trying to tell me that I might be overriding? What are my stressful habits showing me about my deeper needs? Can I use more skills in self-regulation, accepting reality, assertiveness, and mindfulness?
Grief and Loss, Chronic Health Journeys
Am I willing to surrender to something much larger than me, to a place where I am not in control? Can I trust a process that is open ended? How can an unwanted and unknown situation actually awaken me to the present, and to the truth of my body’s sensations in this moment? How alive am I in the face of death?
