How to book a session with me:
My intention when working with clients
is to co-create a safe space for clients to be brave. Brave to talk about & process their struggles & challenges.
Counseling is for everybody and it looks different for everyone.
We are all swimming in water. In our water there is a number of challenges, such as every day life stressors, work, school, kids, financial stressors, miscommunication, as well as discrimination, racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.
Whether we like it or not, these things are in our water, they are part of our life. Often times we do not choose the things in life that challenge us most, but despite this - it is our job to create the life we want by processing & healing from past experiences, reflecting on our values and creating goals . Others cannot do the work for us. There is no one size fits all or magic pill, but there is hope.
Growth isn’t easy, nor painless, but you don’t have to do it alone.
