‘There is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist… The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions it is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.’ - Martha Graham, dancer and choreographer.
Life can be challenging and coping strategies can quickly become habits. I work with clients suffering with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, self compassion, body acceptance, finding meaning, family issues, spirituality and others.

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma and are looking for someone who not only won't judge but understands the kinky, polyam/ENM, and/or queer experience?
