Are you struggling with all life has thrown at you? Are you tired of temporary fixes that don't get you where you want to be? We can work together to heal the wounds, find better solutions, learn new skills, and strategize how we can get you to a place where your life is more fulfilling and purposeful. We can dig into the roots of your pain and suffering so you can leave those wounds in the past where they belong. We can uncover the person you were meant to be rather than the one hidden by the past's scars and the present's pain. We can get you to a better place with less suffering.
I take a caring, honest, empathetic, and collaborative approach to addressing the underlying causes of your suffering. I combine this with vast knowledge gleaned from lived experience, professional education and expertise, and continuous learning and research to help you overcome your unique challenges and improve your quality of life.
I know it's been challenging, but I believe better is possible for you. Please book a free 15-minute consultation on my booking page via my website or email me to find out how I can help you. Let's get you to a better place with less pain and suffering and more contentment and ease in life.

I work with clients struggling with trauma, chronic pain, and emotional neglect. We usually start with establishing a place where they feel safe and welcome to explore their pain and struggles while incorporating skills and strategies to help them cope with their symptoms. This acts as a foundation to process their pain and trauma. They usually see an improvement within the first few sessions.
