Life is really hard and often painful. We all need support to find our way through this confusing and challenging existence. It truly helps to let our walls down and share what we are going through in safe, caring, and genuine relationships. This is what I am offering. From this place, you can find firm footholds and solid ground inside of yourself, empowering you to confidently move toward the future that you want. At times, the coping mechanisms we develop aren’t as effective, sustainable, or healthy as we need them to be. I want to help you learn how to care for yourself and get the most out of your life and relationships.
In safe connection, I may challenge you to explore your fears and darker emotions to better understand and manage them. Together we will navigate the complexities of your life, uncover what holds significance for you, and work towards self-discovery and meaningful change. You deserve to feel joy and to embrace all parts of who you are.
A lot of my work is with people who are struggling to accept their whole selves and to live authentically. If you are dealing with challenges related to identity, self-acceptance, depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, trauma, interpersonal relationships, or LGBTQ+ topics we might be a good fit and I invite you to connect with me for a consultation.
