You’re likely here because the life you’ve worked so hard to build feels difficult to enjoy. You perform being okay, but on the inside, you’re overstimulated. You’ve spent years striving and the exhaustion felt in your body, reminds you that there has to be more to life than self-sacrificial endurance. You’re in need of a full body exhale, and support along the path to lasting change. You have a right to receive effective, unconditional support. Especially, as the world is so turbulent. You’ve tried to handle it on your own for far too long. In our work together, I'll help you embrace a more honest & thriving way of being.
I believe that life can be more fulfilling when we have effective care to help us unburden our bodies and connect to our essence (who we truly are underneath the armor that we wear). This effective care can also help address unresolved traumas, relationship challenges, complicated grief, big life transitions, perfectionism, and impostor syndrome cycles.
As an EMDR Certified Therapist & Certified Integral & Enneagram Coach, I personally know the support it takes to get past stuck places like your well-being depends on it. You can expect me to be compassionate, attentive, and honestly direct. I offer online video and phone sessions. Just visit my website or text to schedule!
