Throughout life, we face life changes, identity and personal crises, losses, and possible disconnection with ourselves and with others. When we begin to explore these changes in a safe and supportive space, we may begin to authentically express our needs and desires, while also creating and maintaining healthy boundaries for ourselves. Creating a life of greater joy and abundance is achieved through honest and open communication, reflection, and a deeper relationship with ourselves and with others.
In our work together we will create a space built on trust to explore personal identity, self expression, sexuality issues, and relational issues with family, friends, and intimate partners. I specialize in navigating life changes, chronic illness, grief and loss, as well as assisting you to deepen authentic personal expression with yourself and with others.
The ability to be truly heard and seen is an important aspect of our work together. Each individual experience is unique and honored. You are the expert of your life, and I will provide a supportive and empowered approach to assist you as we work together.
