I work with individuals who want to understand themselves better. In our chaotic world, often there isn't enough time to think about ourselves: who we are, what we believe and how we want our life to unfold. I believe change happens when we go back to the past to understand what contributed to forming us into the person we are today. Then we can make changes in the present so the past no longer dictates our actions, and we can move forward with confidence. I have 20 years of experience working with trauma of all kinds, depression and anxiety.

The human experience is made up of a series of steps and changes.
