PREVIOUS CLIENTS
Accepting New Clients starting January 2025
Healing begins with a healthy attachment to your inner self. Such an attachment requires focus on the relationship between mind, body and spirit. You are the expert and have important knowledge about what you need to achieve health and well-being. Together, we will explore this knowledge and channel it in service to the goals you want to achieve.
I provide a space that is honest and judgment-free so that you can feel comfortable enough to look at yourself and your experience with hope and compassion. From there, we work together to get you back to wholeness.
I’ve helped people who’ve been betrayed, felt alone, struggled with substance abuse, cycled through poor relationships repeatedly, felt suicidal, moved to a new place and started to feel depressed, cried a lot and didn’t know why, who’ve survived so many traumatic experiences that they felt they couldn’t take anything else. And I can help you, too. I enjoy helping my clients develop more compassionate, loving and respectful relationships with themselves.
