Life is everchanging, and we go through different seasons and transitions, often being asked to access our resilience and coping skills to navigate our path in the moment. Having to face life transitions can sometimes feel anxiety provoking and scary, but also can be transformational and exciting.

Together we can safely challenge yourself in the ways that open you to growth and healing. I understand that everyone has different needs and preferences, and work collaboratively with my clients to determine the best approach for them.
