Are you here because you feel called? Perhaps you’re looking to explore unlived potential, let go of patterns that no longer work, or process something that’s been on your mind for as long as you can remember. At the same time, you may feel stuck, anxious, ambivalent, or even resistant. Answering the call to live an examined life is a courageous act. Further, neuroscience has proven we all have the capacity for change, regardless of age. I’m here to act as a guide and accompany you on your journey; to listen deeply, to hold space for you, and to ask meaningful questions that empower you to awaken and embody your own inner healer.
I use an integrative approach that blends Eastern & Western modalities informed by my life experiences and my own healing journey. I am particularly drawn to a holistic/somatic lens that considers the whole person; mind, body, spirit, and emotions, in our work together. Areas of focus: ADHD/ADD/neurodiversity, life transitions, relationships.
Life is an adventure. If we do the work to muck around in the subconscious and in our stories, to bring them to light, to accept those parts of ourselves wholeheartedly, and to heal, then from that place of wholeness, we can live the life that we choose. If this resonates, please email to set up a complimentary 15-minute call to explore if we're a good fit.
