ABOUT

​

Helping people discover aspects of themselves that have remained hidden or subdued and revealing innate sources of power for growth and healing is one of my passions. I love being a part of a person’s healing process and guiding them to explore and transmute challenging and aversive situations into meaningful ones.

 

I work with people who are seeking healing and growth from  trauma, abuse and adversity and/or who wish to learn more about themselves and live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
