I have a passion for seeing you have a transformational experience as you evolve toward being a more self realized person capable of living the full potential of your life. All the while strengthening your relationships, unleashing your creativity, and ultimately knowing yourself through your profound relationships with others.
I believe the process of understanding yourself is also a process of being “found”; but it will take courage to not go it alone, to lean into that pain while in the presence of another. Together we can discover how your life experiences have formed who you are today. We’ll talk about your difficulties, fears, or sadness. We’ll come to understand your anxiety or anger. We’ll explore why you feel depressed or stuck in a rut. And we’ll do it in a warm and safe space where we will set judgment aside. Let’s explore how you became who you are today, and perhaps along the way you’ll gain a kinder view of yourself.
My wish for you is that you will discover who you really want to be, and what you truly want from your life.
