Do you ever feel alone or that you are the only one to feel this way? There is no reason for you to suffer. Everyone experiences troubles in their life and I want to help you! My passion is in understanding where you are today and guiding you to where you want to be next. You may be angry, sad, confused, indifferent, or just "numb." You may even believe that you will never feel safe and happy again. But you can and you will. Whatever you bring to me we can work together to find the right solution for you.
Do you feel dissatisfied with your body size? Have you attempted to fight this discomfort through diets, food restriction, exercising past your body's limits, or what may feel like overeating? This group intends to help build community, break down diet culture's rules, and find acceptance in our bodies exactly as they are! Health at Every Size aligned group, open for LGBTQ/Queer, BIPOC, and ALL body sizes (6 participants). Cost is $200 or $180 if paid in full and runs on 1/10/22, 1/17, 1/24, 1/31, and 2/7.

Many of us feel like we don't belong, carry burdens from past traumas, and struggle to balance caring for ourselves with having a fulfilling life. My approach will help you respond to intense emotions and memories with more curiosity and speak to the parts of you that feel self-critical, alienated, and alone in a more compassionate and nurturing voice. We will explore your unmet needs and help you express yourself with more vulnerability, confidence, and authenticity. You will discover that the person most equipped to help with your own healing is you, and you are never truly alone.

If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can. We like to feel we always make our best decisions. The struggle exists when we learn and understand that today’s decisions were informed by the many experiences of many yesterdays. We want today’s actions to provide tomorrow’s happiness, leveraged on yesterday's chaos. I have built a career on understanding that change is scary, but necessary. If you are here, then you have already done the hardest part: getting started.
