About me

I have learned that people want to heal.  Want to break free from loneliness and want to be heard. There is so much healing in the of telling your story, feeling like your story was understood so that wounds can heal.   I have helped my clients find emotional healing and make life changes to that seemed to be holding them back in life. We only have one life, and it is too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled.
I have extensive experience in working with addictions, sexual abuse, trauma, eating disorders, anxiety and depression.  I help end of life clients through the many stages of grieving their lives, helping them die well.  I help mothers and fathers who have experienced baby and infant loss.  I have worked with parents that have lost children, and children that have lost their parents.
I have a culturally diverse client base and love working with people from all walks of live, all over the world.
My clients are all cared for and looked after in a compassionate, kind and safe way.  Let me help you find your path to healing, to develop ways to have a better relationship with yourself and others.
Get in touch today to see what I can do for you.
