I believe in creating a safe space for you to explore and process your thoughts, feelings and behaviors while working towards personal growth and healing. As an innovative and progressive professional, I can help you identify negative patterns, address trauma and heal core emotional wounds. I provide support as you "recalibrate" your life, relationships, and circumstances. Together we explore healthy and positive communication and coping skills as we work to achieve goals and create the life you want. My personal nature is nonjudgemental and my approach is "down to earth." Feel free to call and feel it out for yourself ...
