I’m experienced at helping people tackle serious, sometimes scary changes without letting it feel heavy or overwhelming. I believe there’s humor in most things, and I have a knack for finding the golden thread in life—the small, meaningful moments that make growth possible and even joyful.
There are countless methods for healing & moving forward. I provide a judgement free place to find your way & figure it out. Commitment to my clients begins with a belief in the ability of individuals to advocate for themselves & choose their own path. You decide how you want to live your life.
My experience is rooted in the mind + body connect. Scientific research continues to prove more about the brain and body connection than we have ever known, Come along and let me teach you. Working through & assimilating the somatic experience of life, freeing ourselves from trauma & bumps in the road.
Our first session will cover the basics, and will serve as a "getting to know you" appointment. I like to take time to connect and ensure that it is a right fit for your needs. By the end of your first session, we will have a plan on how to move forward.
