There are as many paths to healing as there are people. I've developed a mindful, intuitive, person-centered approach to therapy which helps me meet clients where they are at, building an alliance which allows for positive change and growth to be possible. Love and positivity are key, as well as understanding that some healing takes time. My goal is to help people lead beautiful, fulfilling lives!
I am an empathetic, sensitive and caring therapist, with a background in spirituality, music, and sound healing. I know from experience how challenging life can be at times, and am here to help clients find ways to face their challenges, heal, grow, and transform.
Please contact me for a free 15 minute consultation. I wish you health, love, and happiness!
