My areas of focus include life changes, relationships, trauma, grief, recovery, women's issues and perimenopause/ menopause transitions. Changes to our lives both expected and unexpected, can interrupt our sense of wellbeing or divert us from our desired paths, making it hard to find our way back. We get lost in the heartbreaks, sadness, unmet needs, or trauma responses that fractures how we view and know ourselves. Working our way through unfolding memories, processing traumas, validating feelings, and honoring where we hurt, makes space for more love, connection, compassion and fulfillment. All of which, you deserve.
