Loving Living, Inc.
Psychotherapy, Supervision and Consultation
Individual Psychotherapy
Therapy is something we consider when we want - or experience - change in our lives. Whether you have concerns about mood, physical health, work, relationships, or the state of the world, I offer a space to explore those concerns, develop new perspectives and try out new skills and strategies.
Therapy can also be a place for growth and enrichment: to develop more rich and open relationships, to grow spiritually, or to become more open to joy. I would be honored to accompany you on such a path.
Supervision
It's always a privilege, honor, and tremendous learning experience for me to provide supervision to new therapists. I am credentialed with the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy.
Healing from collective trauma
We all, no matter who we are, experience the trauma of living within the oppressive system of White supremacy. We are all impacted by racism, sexism, gender discrimination, ableism, weightism or homophobia. This trauma leaves us emotionally dysregulated and disconnected from ourselves, each other and nature. It shows up as unconscious and conscious biases and conditioned patterns of thinking and behavior that are held deeply in our minds and bodies. These patterns interact with our own developmental and personal traumas, leading us to experience anxiety, depression, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders or substance abuse.
I work with an embodied approach to healing all these layers of trauma, informed by the modalities of Somatic Experiencing and Organic Intelligence. This is a gentle and holistic approach to trauma resolution, that supports you in moving back into the natural, regular rhythms of the nervous system and to return to ease, connection and greater resiliency.
As we are able to develop more capacity, presence and connection, we are also more able to orient accurately to the oppression and harm of White supremacy – and to mobilize to act together from our natural, human desire for equity and belonging for all.
I welcome you to work in this embodied way to find your path to personal and collective healing and to become an effective ally for justice and equity.
Organic Intelligence® (OI™) Coaching
I offer short-term Organic Intelligence coaching, usually one to six sessions,
Organic Intelligence reminds us that our experiences — images, sensations, thoughts, and feelings — emerge from our biology, and that any healing or lasting change must happen in our biology. Our system already knows how to heal, and wants to grow and develop. Organic Intelligence teaches how to align with our innate, organic impulse toward healing. With more bandwidth, we feel less overloaded, and more ourselves. We can naturally move past longstanding limitations and increase our capacity for enjoyment, connection and action.
Coaching is helpful in integrating mild or moderate stress, in finding and stabilizing our gifts and resources, and in creating a path toward living a life of purpose, meaning, and connection.
My fee for OI coaching is $200 per session. I pay one third of the income derived from OI coaching sessions in reparations to Breaths Together for a Change, a somatic healing program for Indigenous people.
