Do you seek support and a safe environment to problem solve, learn to soothe your nervous system and work through feelings of grief and loss, anxiety, depression and hopelessness? Do you continue to do all the right things, but it seems like it is never enough although you are successful? Do you feel like things are not getting better all though you have tried everything? Are you still holding sorrow, anger or frustration for a loved one, or yourself after a death, divorce, traumatic event or transition? Are you ready to deeply reflect on your strengths, growth areas, patterns and the blocks to you seeking wholeness?
I work with clients ages 10 and up experiencing death, divorce, estrangement, self-sabotaging behaviors, burn out, loss of purpose, feeling unheard, burden or stagnation find clarity, relief and peace. I create a space of empathy, safety and hope. I love providing tools and unconditional positive regard to my clients with some humor and creativity.
I incorporate levity, deep exploration and empowerment into our work together using traditional modalities as well as mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, and Akashic Records reading as add on services that can be integrated or stand alone. Contact for a free consult to determine if we vibe and how my services can bring you into greater alignment with your desires.
