Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During your first session, there are brief introductions. We will begin the intake process, which is a fancy word for asking you a lot of questions about your symptoms and current situations, as well as how your symptoms are making it harder for you to move forward and function in your day-to-day life. I also just want to get to know you, and where you are now. After gathering this information, we will begin discussing what you would like to work on and why that is important to you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have the power, as a learned expert, with lived experience, as well as years of successful practice with others, to help you feel safe and your needs more heard. I can generally walk a mile in your shoes and have great empathy but also gently hold people accountable for the things they need to change. I will help teach you to identify and take care of your given responsibilities with more grace and ease by helping you discover the importance of setting strong boundaries with loved ones and others, leading to decreased resentment and decreased overuse of your personal resources that leave us upset and exhausted. I will also share tips and strategies to help you maintain your peace of mind. I will help you live as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I'm looking for those of you feeling disconnected from love, questioning your worth, in crises, and/or those not able to see their inner divine light. I want you to see your creative potential and power. I help guide you when you are feeling depressed, anxious & scared, stuck, unconfident, inauthentic, or disconnected from your life’s passions or purpose. I teach you to manage and improve your emotional state, and help you feel more confident, joyful and focused on the here and now. I also help a lot with decision making and helping you process your emotions and learn from your mistakes and trauma. If you would like, we will also explore and find your greatest Spiritual tools so that you can connect with your higher power to eventually trust yourself and the Universe/Your higher power to find and follow your own solutions intuitively.
