Attunement Psychotherapy

Yarrow is always my favorite reminder to honor my boundaries. Boundaries keep us psychically and physically healthy and are necessary in all relationships. Thanks for the medicine, little ones 🌱🌱🌱

It was a journey, but I’m now a Certified Brainspotting therapist! Brainspotting has changed the way my clients move through trauma held in the body. The eyes are truly incredible. To learn more about Brainspotting (BSP) therapy, you can go to Brainspotting.com or check out the BSP section on my website. Link in bio. 👀🧠

Great job, PDX. This is huge. I could cry 😭

Pleasure facilitates healing.
🌸
Today I said to a client, “When you notice you’re not dissociated from your body, use that as an opportunity to lay the pleasure on thick. Ramp up the joy as much as possible.” Peonies feel luxurious to me and bring me a lot of pleasure to look at.
How about y’all?

Happy Pride 🌈
Diversity is a beautiful part of what it means to be alive. Diversity is the most natural thing in the world. As a neurodivergent person on the q***r spectrum, I have struggled at times to thrive in this world not built for my ultra sensitive self. This book (I haven’t finished it yet), my own therapist, and other neurodivergent folks in my life have made embracing my unique mind much easier over the years. Here’s to throwing off the mask and embracing diversity ❤️

A time to bear witness to fertility, growth, awakening, balance between masculine and feminine energies, and adornment. Everything outside is covered in PINK (where I am)!
If you’re not resonating with some or all of these Beltane, springtime vibes, it might be because spring is ALSO a time when our bodies and nervous systems can become agitated, anxious, irritated, and activated!
You’re not alone if you’re feeling big waves of grief, anxiety, mania (if that’s your diagnosis/experience), and overwhelm. Spring can unearth dormant emotion from the body like nothin’ else. I like to think of spring as catalytic energy: it can move us from “freeze”🥶 to “thaw” 🫠 in really helpful ways, and in ways that sometimes feel suuuuper intense. Blessed Beltane to all. Hang in there! 🌸

The IFS training I’ve been doing every Wednesday from 10-1 is ending soon! That means new client slots will be opening back up for *Oregon residents*
