You help others to create better lives for themselves, but what about you — where do you turn when you need support while caring for others? You may experience compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary trauma in helping professions, and the only way you can continue to show up for your patients is to make space to heal for yourself.

I'm here to provide a space to heal from old trauma wounds and workplace stressors that have created difficulty in work/life balance.
