Does creating boundaries feel awkward? Are you not feeling valued in your relationships? Do you have a sense life could be better but not sure where to begin? This is exactly what I help you figure out. I support your conscious un-coupling in a way that feels supportive to you, gain clarity on what your needs and wants are moving forward, and create an environment where each party is heard and respected. Gain clarity on how to be with your feelings of moving on and the hope that will build your internal resources to have you standing in your strength, freedom, and connection you truly desire that fits your life right now.

I want to know what is happening for you now and what your ideal/best version of yourself could be. Each session is customized for you and the specifics of your life. I specialize in healing from codependency, narcissistic abuse and relationships with addicts, past and present.

I understand what it feels like to be stuck, to not know how to ask for help, to feel like something needs to change. Reach out to me now or wait but remember, nothing changes if nothing changes. I offer complimentary 15 min zoom or phone sessions to see if we are a fit.

I work with individuals and couples that are in an uncomfortable loop of unhealthy and unhelpful codependency dynamics. Together we build new patterns of awareness and connection, supportive boundaries and heal dynamics of the past. All leading to a stronger sense of self-worth and communication with themselves and those they have interpersonal relationships with.

Building rapport through humanistic style and approach is best as we build trust, deeper emotional and childhood/historical traumas can be explored. I find it best to meet my clients where they are in their self development journey and nourish where they want to go, who they want to be and we find a way there. Building boundaries, finding clarity and humor find their way into most sessions.
