Message to clients

I believe wholeheartedly that there is no shame in struggling (it usually signals growth ahead) and that we meet our struggles best with the help of others. I offer a place of non-judgement, where I help people develop insight, a sense of cohesion and authenticity, and resilience in the face of challenges.
