Being attachment based and emotion focused, I strive to provide an environment of safety and compassion.

We don’t come into this world with a guidebook and at times our upbringing fails to equip us emotionally for the journey ahead. This combined with life stressors and lack of support can make it difficult to navigate challenges that come our way and can negatively impact our mental health. Our minds can feel like a runaway train, our bodies run on auto pilot and relationships are left strained. Depression and anxiety can set in, leaving us helpless and overwhelmed. Emotional injuries may show up as difficulty trusting others, expressing or regulating emotions, or solving problems.

Women who have "lost" themselves due to community commitments, busyness of motherhood, career & marriage. Women who struggle with eating disorders, body image, self-love, depression, anxiety & autoimmune conditions. Women want to be accepted, to be empowered, to offer unconditional love to their family & loved ones, yet they must fill their own cup first & foremost, because we cannot "pour from an empty cup". I have an inexhaustible belief in the human spirit's ability to grow & change & that we are each able to awaken our truest & healthiest self. I provide an honest, kind ear & create safe container for healing.
