Accepting new clients as of 9/25/23. Do you feel like you can’t catch a break? Are your thoughts are constantly racing? You are not alone. Whatever you are facing, you deserve a space that is solely dedicated to supporting your needs. I have over 16 years of experience collaborating with individuals to quiet their inner critic, establish positive habits and implement strategies to become “unstuck” and find direction in the midst of life’s challenges.
As a queer person, I offer an understanding of the difficulty that comes when you feel like parts of you don't fit. I value providing space for people from diverse backgrounds including those that are neurodivergent, highly sensitive and LGBTQ+. I will partner with you so you can create a more meaningful life.
While life may feel overwhelming right now, I believe that you have everything you need inside of yourself to create the change you seek. Together, we can identify steps for building the life you want. If you have questions or want to connect, please reach out by phone or email for a free consultation.
