My belief is if we are disconnected with ourselves, we aren't showing up to this world authentically it is impacting our relationships with others and most importantly, ourselves. We allow ourselves to be defined by our experiences we've had and trauma we've endured, we lose a sense of self, leaving us feeling lost and "broken". So I welcome you to get lost with me because I'll be right there with you when you find your way.
I am Certified Life and Leadership coach and transitionally Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Fueled by my own life's journey and my absolute passion for love and compassion, my counseling style is unique.
My theoretical approach combines a person centered approach and CBT methods, as well as methods I've used as a life and leadership coach. My unique abilities to create a safe space for clients, connecting with them on a level allows for clients to to create a radical acceptance approach to life in a way that uniquely aligns with who they truly are.
