Being human did not come with a set of instructions, but perhaps it should have. So often, humans find themselves in the mess of suffering, pain, and social programming that gets in the way of being our authentic selves. I, myself, am human first, therapist second (& ya know... 1000 things in between). I see therapy as a way to recenter and come back into YOUR own knowing. Therapy is the conscious participation in your own evolution. And I am here to assist you on your journey to evolve into the human you want to be.

Well, here we are! Most of us recovering from a global pandemic, the monkey pox, and now we must worry whether our children will be safe in their schools and whether to return to work or work from home.

Life can be stressful; I know firsthand what it’s like to suffer and make sacrifices I wasn’t ready for. I too have issues; I would be lying to you if I told you otherwise.
