It can be hard to face and overcome difficulties alone and feel stuck in a place that may include anxiety, depression, addictions, inauthenticity with others, lack of self-esteem, stress, codependency, and overall life dissatisfaction. Together we can heal and transform the places where you feel stuck as well as learning tools you can use on your own. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques and provide you with a compassionate, warm space where you feel safe, seen and closely attuned to in order to explore and resolve issues together and ultimately engage with life from a more centered, authentic and fulfilled place.
