Life is a journey that we are all navigating through in an effort to find who we really are, what our passions are, & what we truly desire; this is necessary to have an embodied experience of authentic healing, self-expression, and living. My ‘deepest’ intention for my clients is that they feel uplifted & more closely aligned w/ their hearts’ true desires. I encourage clients to cultivate a genuine & authentic approach to life, regardless of earlier life experiences, beliefs, or messaging. Are you ready to take that inner journey of exploration & discovery, without having to do it alone?
I am a Level 3, Certified IFS Therapist, trained by the IFS Institute. IFS is a powerful modality for reclaiming one’s vitality in life! It is an intuitive, psycho-spiritual, attachment-based model. I customize my approach to meet the individual needs, strengths, & personality of each client. My therapy style is warm, relaxed, relational, & experiential.
The greatest gift in life is finding ourselves. Both happiness & peace of mind are more accessible when we reach a deeper connection w/ knowing ourselves & others. Let’s work together & get curious about what limits you from enjoying your life. It would be my ‘privilege’ to help YOU explore a deeper self-knowledge & achieve a more soulfully connected life!
