About

I understand how hard it can be to open up to an unfamiliar person and the leap of faith involved in seeking out change. We’re all faced with uncertainties and questions, and it often helps to talk about it with someone who really listens and sincerely cares. My goal is to support you through any difficulties or changes, provide you with the necessary tools to ensure you become the best possible version of yourself, and live a meaningful life. I have experience working with a variety of clients facing diverse and unique circumstances and tailor my style and approach according to individual needs I sincerely care for all of my clients, and my passion is to give you a space where you can feel comfortable and heard. The basis to my approach is providing you with a calm, safe, trusting, and nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences, gain insight and perspective, and reach your full potential. I value curiosity, authenticity, and determination in my practice. We can work together to find your values and move towards making them central within your life as well. My passion is to help others find strength and courage they may not know they had, and to witness the incredible personal transformation that comes from sharing your story in a safe space.
