My focus is to support you to build inner safety so you can embody your power and essence. I work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds, and focus on highly sensitive and sensitized individuals. The challenges I work with include emotional (terror, anger, shame), grief & loss, nervous system patterns, relationships, anxiety, depression, self-worth, and spiritual.
