About My Clients

Upholding the vision that everything is fine can be exhausting. Oftentimes, to the outside world, you appear to be doing well, but inside, there is this nagging sense that something is amiss. You're not sure what needs to change, but you know that the way things have been going is not how you want to live. From an affirming stance, I partner with clients to cultivate pathways toward a full, expansive, joyful, and authentic life.

My Background and Approach

With a background in early childhood attachment and bonding, I often relate present experiences with the way we were(or weren't) raised. What messages did you receive growing up about who you needed to be? How did that shape you? Which parts of these messages support you? Are there any that you'd like to let go of? My itention in asking these questions is to develop a better understanding of who you are, to inform the way we work together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

The stories we tell about ourselves impact the way we see the world. Often, these stories come with assumptions and attitudes that get in the way of living an authentic life. Together, we’ll comb through the stories, edit what works, and shift what doesn’t. Sometimes, the world impacts our stories- we will develop strategies to engage with the feelings that come up while navigating an unpredictable world. Other times, there are parts of ourselves that don’t want to change right away- and that’s okay! Every flower has its season. Together, we’ll nurture an understanding of every aspect of your experience to make room for more light to shine through.
