Are you ready for a change? You may be functioning in your life, yet something in you is asking for your attention. Or maybe a recent diagnosis, loss, life transition, or stress may have you questioning how you’ve been living until now. Perhaps you are ready to face something that you’ve resisted in the past out of habit, fear, or a sense of being existentially stuck. Or maybe you know your story, and have a desire to deepen your understanding of yourself but don’t know how to get there.
I use a combination of experiential and talk therapy. I believe the body, mind, and spirit are all connected and I will attune to you from that perspective. My work is to provide a calm, grounded container for you to explore that which lies underneath the surface thoughts, stories, and emotions and how what is revealed shows up in the heart, mind and body.
I am interested in your journey and here to support you to identify and/or work towards your goals. If this approach sounds like a good fit, please reach out to me to for a 15 minute phone consultation.
