Sometimes our path becomes challenging. We may feel stuck, despairing, or hopeless. We may be lost, or it may seem as if we are heading in the wrong direction. Pain or emotional wounds may resurface. There may be distance or conflict with our companion. When the old ways of navigating no longer serve us, our strengths may not be as accessible, and fear or exhaustion may keep us from taking another step.
I see myself as a guide in that process - listening, supporting, and walking beside you. I can help you remove obstacles, learn new strategies, and access your inner and relational resources. Ultimately, the path can lead to healing, greater self-awareness, and more connected relationships. I am unable to accommodate new clients at this time.
