Perhaps you are struggling in a relationship, or dealing with the aftermath of a difficult life event. Maybe your child is acting in a way that you don't understand, and you are not sure what to do.

What if I told you therapy could be an adventure? It is a place to understand, build, & reinvent yourself. What possibilities emerge when you know your strengths?

As a kid, you color with reckless abandon. You show up as you are & at some point, vulnerability & authenticity becomes more difficult to attain as life unfolds.

I want to help you &/or your loved ones reconnect in a world that makes it hard to reach out & thrive by being a bridge, connecting you to the pieces of yourself that may have wandered while you were trying to survive.
