First and foremost, I want to say you are not alone. You are not the first parent/caregiver to make the huge respective decision to ask for SUPPORT when it is needed. Isn’t that exactly what we teach our children to do? I feel your pain, I hear your sadness, and I am right here with you to help you through it all. You may feel you’ve exhausted everything in the book, or you just don't know what else to do, leaving you exhausted, burned out or ashamed – that’s where I step in! Parenting is no joke, no blissful forged social media post, nothing that we’re ever truly prepared for. But what we can do is work together and heal together.

My ideal client(s) are those struggling with both trauma and relationships. Trauma can profoundly impact how we relate to others. I am especially interested in people who struggle with attachment issues in relationships. The ideal client is receptive to change, can take ownership of their life, and has the capacity for self-reflection. I also work with clients interested in exploring spiritual matters in whatever form. I have extensive training in esoteric practices, such as archetypal astrology and tarot.
