Accepting new clients! What would you like to have different in your life? You and I will work together to help you meet your goals. For some, it might be to “feel better” and we can figure out what that means for you.

For some, it is addressing more specific needs, such as anxiety, sadness, feeling stuck, work-life balance, relationships, sexuality, or exploring values.
