I’ve always been curious, thought & communicated about the topics others shy away from - emotions, the body, sex, intimacy, money, loss & death - to name a few. All of which have led me to explore these themes in my professional life in an empathic, curious and non-judgmental way in order to help others feel safe and comfortable talking about these parts of themselves & their lives.
Together, we will explore deeply the feelings, memories, thoughts, challenges, sensations & experiences you have. Together, we will make sense of and integrate your past & current experiences, identify coping strategies that keep you out of connection with yourself & others and build new strategies to cope, connect & feel whole, leading to increased vulnerability, pleasure, change & growth.
