Decades-long childhood abuse and neglect, to a long-term marriage ending catastrophically, I am intimately familiar with the deep pit of despair, self-loathing, anger, rage, and biting sorrow I climbed out of. No small feat. All that is to say, I know how hard this is.

Unified Mindfulness Compass Grad - Teacher Certified. UM, for short, is a systematized way of using everyday things (for example: what you see, what you hear, and what you feel) as focus objects to build three core skills essential for dealing with overwhelm: concentration, power, sensory clarity, and the crown jewel: equanimity (the ability to non judgementally observe experience without engaging it).

IFS is a gentle, evidence-based way of exploring your inner world of your mind, your emotions, beliefs, and protective patterns- by understanding yourself as a system of “Parts” that all have positive intention.
