My personal style is to extend warmth, acceptance and care to all who enter my office. I’m not afraid of your tears or your anger and want you to know, you are in a judgement free space. My style is light and I help clients find humor when the situation calls for it, and know that laughter is incredibly healing. I will tell you the truth, as I see it, for the sole purpose to help you grow. The average client spends about six months to a year with me. Some clients require just a few visits to hit the reset or rebalance button.
