Welcome! If you have found your way here, it is likely because the discomfort from feeling stressed, overwhelmed and disconnected has become stronger than the fear of looking at what is driving those feelings. Even though it’s scary, you are willing to take a step toward balance and connection by seeking support. I am here to help you navigate major life transitions, relationship troubles, anxiety, loss or depression so that you can walk toward stronger and more meaningful relationships with others and fully embrace all the gifts that life has to offer.
I can support you on this journey of self discovery by creating a safe space in which you can explore the landscape of your inner world and your relationships. I will accompany you as you delve into the places that are hard to acknowledge and help you in accepting and embracing all aspects of yourself.
You have already traveled the hardest part of your journey. The treacherous seas of life can cause suffering but they can also be a catalyst for positive change. Together we will steer you toward healing, growth and joy.
