In a time of unraveling, you are at the forefront of addressing some of the greatest needs of our time. You have been working relentlessly to make a difference in the lives of those in your community because you believe in a future where humans can live more in balance with earth and the more than human world. But you get tired of carrying this weight. You want and need someone who understands both the passion and pain of pursuing your higher vision. You long for a place where you are able to replenish and resource in order to have the energy and ability to continue your work.
I seek to hold space and support you from a person-centered approach incorporating mindful presence, creative expression, shame resilience, and systems theory so that you can experience resilience and self-healing as you continue your vital work making a difference within broken cultural systems.
I believe that creating a trusting, collaborative relationship with you will provide the necessary framework for your resilience and healing. I seek to understand your lived experience and help you connect to strengths within yourself that will foster your growth and well-being. I invite you to call me, so we can start walking this path together.
