Offering immediate openings. Do you feel like you're facing something that you just can't see a way past? Like you want to make a change in your life, but you just can't figure out how to get there? I am here to help; to walk with you on the journey; to support the growth that you know you can achieve if you can just get started. We all hold the capacity to thrive in our lives. In working with you, I meet you where you are, help you identify the root of your challenge, build resilience, and help you unearth your inner strength and wisdom, so you can emerge into your full self.

My extensive experience working with women and folks in the LGBTQ+ community, aids me in working with folks when they feel overwhelmed, are experiencing dissatisfaction in relationships, life transitions, trauma, and anxiety. You have extraordinary capacity for growth, strength, and love. I would be honored to support you on your journey.
