Say Hello! to the freedom that exists on the other side of fear and anxiety and thrive in your relationships and career.
I help creative, successful and passionate people build upon personal strengths, find clarity, silence the inner critic, strengthen the inner voice, identify fears, negative thoughts and unhealthy beliefs. Together we can transform challenge into opportunity and open the doors to self-awareness and self-ownership to get you back to the safety, joy and intention you’ve been longing for.
I believe healthy relationships nurture mutual respect, safety and care. I work with couples and individuals from diverse and creative backgrounds and experiences.
