✨ Your Healing Journey is Yours to Guide ✨

Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself—you were never broken! It’s about reconnecting with the wisdom, strength, and balance already within you. If you’re navigating grief, anxiety, life transitions, or the weight of generational patterns, you don’t have to do it alone.

In our work together, we will create a space rooted in care, respect, and deep listening. Through body-centered and relational healing practices, we’ll explore ways to release what no longer serves you and move toward greater connection, self-trust, and wholeness.

If this resonates with you, we invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. Your healing, in your own time, in your own way. 💛

🌿 Healing Begins Within 🌿

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed, caught in patterns of self-doubt, anxiety, or unresolved trauma? It's time to reconnect with your inner strength and restore balance to your mind and body.

As therapists specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing, we offer a holistic approach to healing that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. Together, we’ll explore your inner world and address the root causes of your struggles—working with both your thoughts and physical sensations.

✨ Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you identify and heal the different "parts" of yourself—those voices, beliefs, or behaviors that may be holding you back. By developing a compassionate relationship with these parts, you can find deeper self-acceptance and empowerment.

✨ Somatic Experiencing focuses on the wisdom of your body, helping you release stored tension and trauma that might be affecting your overall well-being. By tuning into your body’s sensations, you can begin to heal on a deeper, more lasting level.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply seeking greater peace and self-awareness, we're here to support you on your journey of healing and self-discovery.

🌟 Ready to reclaim your inner peace and vitality? Let’s start this transformative journey together. Reach out today to schedule your session and begin healing from the inside out.

Father's Day for those who have faced deep loss can bring up so many different parts of us. Parts that hold immense grief and sorrow, parts that hold regret, parts that just want to even forget that this day was here, parts that wish things were different. Regardless of what parts may come up, no one who is grieving should have to be alone. Having supports on this day, or even using this resource could be something that may be helpful to you ❤️

Join David Kessler for two free discussions about Grief & Father's Day. Because we know this day can be challenging when you're missing a father or a child, David will share helpful tips for navigating Father's Day.

It’s natural to feel resentment and anger towards those who have harmed us. It’s not fair that we had to suffer the consequences of their unhealed traumas. True healing involves recognizing that we should have never been responsible for carrying the weight of their unhealed past, and finally being able to release what never belonged to us in the first place.

Connection is the energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment.

Loving this! How many of us received overt and/or subtle messages that our emotions were "wrong", "too much" or "not enough"? That we had to shove them down, deny them, hide them?

This makes it pretty tricky when we do experience emotions that are not deemed "positive" (which is completely inevitable!), as we ultimately are working so hard to not receive that feeling that we are "bad" for these things within us coming up.

How would things be in your life when you hold space for your emotions and explore what they are trying to let you know?

Many times, the things that we do to shield ourselves from pain are things that we have done for quite some time (and may not even be helping the way that they used to, or lead us to feel isolated and alone.)

We can both acknowledge that what we have done in the past has helped us get by, and also explore different ways to be with our past and current pain in a safe way.

We're here for you

Curiously enough, if we primarily try to shield ourselves from discomfort, we suffer. Yet when we don’t close off and we let our hearts break, we discover our kinship with all beings.
