Let’s figure out this crazy thing called life, together. Life is tough enough as it is, but I hope you will be open to allowing me to be a part of your healing and journey. I believe relationships and connections are important to thrive as human beings. I will encourage you to bring awareness to your emotions and allow them to be, as well as challenge any negative or self-defeating thoughts that sometimes keep us stuck. Think of me as your nonjudgmental friend who supports you where you are but also sees the potential of who you want to become.
