Accepting new clients - I believe that the relationship you build with yourself is so important for building other strong, meaningful relationships. In our time together, I will be your biggest advocate and encourage you to be your most authentic self.

I believe in looking at those parts of yourself that you often want to neglect and build a new relationship with them. While difficult at times, we will approach these parts with grace and understanding.

I believe that everything we do in life comes from experiences that’ve shaped us.Depending on the intensity of the event & how our body perceives it, it’ll be logged into our nervous system as a safe or an unsafe experience.Our bodies at the basic level want to feel safe and will create behaviors (healthy/unhealthy) to protect us.For most, when we feel bad later about our behaviors, this means our body perceived the event as a threat.We’ll explore with a curious mindset why this is happening and boundaries that can be put in place.We will evaluate /decipher what coping skills/behaviors are harmful and re-program them in your body.

My goal is to create a welcoming and safe environment to help you express yourself without hesitation or fear of judgement. In my time working with people I have learned that most need guidance, someone who will listen, and understand them.
