Are you wondering if life could be more free, authentic, or beautiful than it has been? I specialize in helping LGBTQIA+, entertainment industry folks, creatives, & adults with trauma cultivate a life they love. Are you exploring your identity or trying to find your place in the queer community? Are you in the music industry and struggling to balance your wellbeing with the lifestyle? Or you find yourself stuffing down your feelings because you aren’t sure what the hell you’re supposed to do with them? Instead of discouraged and exhausted, you want to feel fulfilled, connected, and confident in yourself.
In working together you’ll reconnect to yourself & reclaim your agency in life. In our sessions you’ll find me to be warm & grounding. I take an active role, so you don’t need to feel the pressure of filling every minute. We’ll get to the root of the real stuff & laugh some along the way. You’ll leave sessions with hope, feedback, & tangible next steps.
I’m a licensed clinical psychotherapist and a certified trauma specialist with 7 yrs of experience. I’m trained in EMDR and IFS. My clients come to me because I’m open minded and intentional. You can expect me to show up authentically, and I hope you will too. Visit my website (healwithgoldenhour. com) to book a free 15 min consult call today!
