Not all of us are given the book on how to have healthy and fulfilling relationships with others or ourselves. It takes courage to explore and share what we are struggling with and begin to write (or rewrite) our book on how we want to feel and be in the world. You deserve to experience connection, relief, and acceptance in order to feel secure enough to explore and take risks in life. My goal is to get curious about the blocks that keep you from experiencing those qualities and collaborate with you to remove them.
