Foundational to my practice is a deep respect for each person’s innate capacity to grow and change. The path forward doesn’t have to be clear for you to begin the process, and we will go at your pace. I am a compassionate, collaborative and strengths-based provider and I often work with people on issues related to a diagnosis of cancer or caring for someone with a diagnosis, grief and loss, trauma, and the impacts of structural oppression.
You may have experienced a significant life change that feels difficult to adjust to, or like something needs to change but you aren’t sure what to do or where to start. You may feel ready to change your relationship to past experiences, or reconnect to yourself after going through big changes. You may be looking to feel more free, authentic, and present.
We tend to think about change in terms of taking action in the world. But often change begins with building awareness of our relationship to ourselves, to others, to the systems we interact with and to the natural world. My aim is to support you in building the awareness and the skills to feel more free to make positive choices in your life.
