About My Clients

Are you feeling the impulse to explore who you really are? Do you yearn for freedom from unhealthy relationship dynamics and behavior patterns holding you back from the life you know you’re meant to have? Do you seek real, lasting change, progress, and happiness? Do you feel like you’ve tried it all, but nothing sticks? Do you believe you need help identifying your limiting beliefs, overcoming your hardships, and getting the life you’ve always wanted? Let's start together!

My Approach to Helping

I aim to support you using an empathetic, accepting, inclusive, and non-judgmental stance in our relationship. I affirm and celebrate differences including body positivity, sex/kink positivity, LGBTQIA, ethical non-monogamy, and neurodiverse identities. I take a trauma-informed approach to acknowledge how traumas across the lifespan may impact symptoms now. I strive to help my clients heal from their past and build their inner resilience, strength, and empowerment. I also take a cultural and identity-informed approach that recognizes how intersectional identities impact my clients. I incorporate your spiritual or faith-based belief systems into our work, as relevant or requested. I have advanced training in eating disorders, trauma treatment, neurodivergence, LGBTQ+, couples therapy, polyamory, and infidelity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a fellow human on this journey called life, I have been blessed to support others on their journey for well over a decade. My personal and professional experiences have shaped who I am and I continue to grow every day to be a better person and reach the highest version of myself and my relationships. My calling in life is to continue to heal myself and take what I have learned to help others. I get to live my dream and strive to guide you to reach yours!
