My Ideal Client

You are ready to stop patterns that involve giving your power away. You are looking for more fulfillment in life and are ready to reclaim your authentic self. You are tired of feeling like everything else comes before your dreams, goals, empowerment and mental health. You who want to learn how to build more loving awareness and compassion towards yourself in order to support your best life. You are interested in learning more about what makes you who you are and create an authentic life.

My Approach to Helping

Utilizing a nonjudgmental approach that is person-centered, I will meet you where you are at to work on the concerns most important to you. I believe you are the expert in your experience and with a little guidance, you have the ability to heal yourself. Our work will be bespoke to your needs and may include eye movement therapy, internal family systems work, attachment healing, nature-based healing and collaborative problem solving. Most of us are stuck living in an avatar we’ve created to maintain safety, connection and feel belonging with our world. You are not alone in your experience. I will support you in identifying strengths, barriers and supports that interact with your ability to reach your goals. You are worthy of taking a step forward for you. Together, we can figure out what’s holding you back from securing happiness and abundance for yourself.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I deeply value working towards collective liberation and decolonial ways to being in relationship with the world and the beings in it. I am passionate about working with other LGBTQIA2S+ people and supporting them in living an authentic life. I am interested in the inner energetics of things and have been working with tea as a practice for this, in addition to other tools. Tea has been used for centuries as both a daily drinking tonic and as a medicinal beverage. I am trained in pouring Gongfu style tea as a tool to support you in understanding your energetics & healing from within. I believe that nature and being in right relation with earth can support our deep healing. If you want to learn more about how I can help, shoot me a message!
