I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling life, as joy is our natural state of being. Through generational trauma, and various other events that transpire through one's life, the mind, body and spirit get coated with pain. I work with clients who desire to move past this pain. I believe that healing takes place by transcending limiting beliefs and feelings that are often found on a subconscious level. By uprooting these thoughts and feelings and processing the pain that may arise, the goal is to transcend them to live a more joyous life.

Most of my clients have issues dealing with relationships. It's often a boss, family member or a significant other.

Communication is key to solving problems of any type. Insight building as to why clients find themselves in these relationships over and over are the focus in treatment.
