Authentic communication means knowing yourself, your needs, boundaries and patterns, and expressing them responsibly and with love. People who see me want to see how their repetitive, harmful patterns have held them back from getting their needs met. Together, working on self-esteem, relationships, patterns, and communication skills can lead to lasting change in your life. You have the capacity to grow, to heal from whatever may be holding you back and to connect with your happiest self simply by truly being You. Self-acceptance, love and taking responsibility for yourself and your needs allow you to be HAPPY.
Seeing yourself clearly, lovingly and responsibly leads to true freedom. My specialty is relationships of all types (with yourself, romantic, family and friends). In a non-judgmental, non-confrontational way, I can guide you to respond to challenges and difficulties in your life and relationships, and to consciously build a more satisfying life.
Love is a primary ingredient in what I do. I truly empathize and care for each of my clients just as they are. And because I do the work as well, my self-acceptance can positively impact yours. Identifying and voicing your needs (met and unmet) and their impact on others all while loving yourself and others is, ultimately, freeing.

I love and use the Creative Non-Directive Approach developped by Colette Portelance. It is a Respect-focused and Compassion-focused Humanistic approach that guides you towards more empowerment, self-acceptance and accountability, with love and focused listening. It is a soft place to land and open yourself up to seeing who you are, want to be and can be.
