Being human is pretty hard; acknowledging vulnerability is even harder. Efforts to avoid or get rid of all the "uncomfortable" in life can negatively impact our health & make us feel stuck, anxious or angry & more like autopiloted, reactive "human doings" than connected, responsive human beings. If you've repeatedly hit the rewind button more than once, heard "I told you that last week," or said "I don't have time...," you know what I mean. We will work together to help you curiously explore & shift your relationship with the "uncomfortable," live in the present, & create a rich, meaningful life guided by what you value most deeply.
Whether you are looking to process through trauma or loss, manage stress, navigate through new or difficult life circumstances, improve your wellbeing or relationships, find deeper meaning or purpose in your life, or are simply looking for a quick "tune up," we will work together to help you move forward with confidence and resilience.
Knowing how difficult it can be to make a commitment to this work, I honor the courage it takes to reach out & look forward to walking beside you on your journey. Every person deserves a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate (& at times, humorous) space to heal & grow. Call/email me with any questions or go to my website to schedule a visit. I'm here for you.
