Being human is pretty hard; acknowledging vulnerability is even harder. Efforts avoid or get rid of unwanted experiences can negatively impact our health and make us feel stuck, anxious, or angry and more like autopiloted, checked-out, reactive "human doings" than conscious, connected, and responsive human beings. Every person deserves a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate (and at times, humorous) space to heal and grow. We will work together to help you explore and shift your relationship with those experiences, live in the present, and create a rich and meaningful life guided by what you value most deeply.
Whether you are looking to process through trauma or loss, manage stress, navigate through new or difficult life circumstances, improve your wellbeing or relationships, find deeper meaning or purpose in your life, or are simply looking for a quick "tune up," I look forward to walking beside you on your journey.
I honor the courage required of each person to take the first step. Call or email me with any questions you have or visit my website to schedule a meeting.
