Life is packed with change and challenge. And sometimes that negatively impacts our life, altering our thoughts and feelings, creating confusion, distress, anger, grief and disconnection. My goal is to support you in navigating these abrupt or lingering life transitions that block you from living fully. You may be shattered by a life altering diagnosis, unexpectedly caring for a parent or partner, pushing against aging, loss and grief, feeling isolated, or coming to see the world changed after covid or your gender transition. Let’s work toward bolstering internal and external support to help you flourish on your life's journey.
My experience is working with people in major life transition, with a specialty in aging, serious illness and end of life. We’ll work to understand how your history and stories help or hinder you, while striving for dynamic change and abundance. I believe you hold innate wisdom to frame your life and values, and I will support you in healing and thriving.
I work with individuals and offer limited sessions with couples and larger circles of people. I use a trauma informed and social justice lens, am trained in reiki and believe in the power of alternative and complementary medicines; I will consider integration work on a case by case basis. Please reach out for a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
