Life can be difficult yet we need not live in a caravan of despair. We can learn to accept life's challenges with awareness, an open heart and connection to others. Mostly we did not learn how to live while also staying connected to our hearts. We learned closure, codependency, to do for others and not oneself. We learned how to fight, contract, blame, shame, feel guilty. If you are ready to take a journey into the heart, mind and body of your defensive patterning that leaves you unhappy, alone and in despair - I am here, to go with you into the delicate world of the body and subconscious mind, to free you once and for all.

I work with clients who are (highly) sensitive, empathic, or intuitive. Sensitive people have a finely attuned nervous system that is a huge gift when made conscious. They experience life deeply, yet don't always feel easily understood by others. Growing up, they often experienced not fitting in, and have adapted to a largely non-sensitive world in myriad ways that didn't always serve their best interest. I support sensitive people on their path to finding their voice, experiencing genuine relationships, purposeful work, and reclaiming their space in the world.

Hello, and welcome! No matter what brings you, I'm glad you're here. Our modern world is relentless; it can easily hinder the ability to identify and express our true selves, find mind-body-spirit alignment, and meaningfully tend to the breadth and complexity of the human experience. I strive to create a space in the world to counterbalance that - a place where any person in any circumstance can go to feel safe, seen, connected, and inspired to embark on the journey of becoming a whole Self living a purposeful life. It is my hope that our sessions can be that place for you, until you are able to create one of your own.
