I am a trauma-informed Mindfulness therapist who believes that a balanced mindset will help to empower, uplift clarity, and motivate success and happiness.
I help clients overcome limiting beliefs, resolve obstacles that derail their collaboration, and elevate mutual strengths, joy, and potential for deep connection. I coach from a firm embrace of ethical and cultural boundaries for conscious coupling.
First session
In the introductory session you will have an opportunity to be heard while sharing more in depth the struggles that bring you to therapy. Together we can identify where attention needs to be directed in order for you to move confidently towards the goals you choose. You will also have the opportunity to inquire more personally about my approach and the ways that we can collaborate to create the space you need for your healing journey.
