Welcome to my profile! I hope to help you find what you're looking for. (If I can't, I'll do my best to point you in the right direction)

If you're in a middle of a life transition, feel like you've lost a positive sense of self, drowning in a sea of "shoulds," feel overwhelmed, or just unsure of your next step, I teach a practice that might help.

I help clients learn Focusing, a somatic practice for getting your gut and your head to talk to each other.

A lot of stress in our lives happens because we overwrite our own, subtle, gut feelings about what we really need. Our judgment gets clouded by habitual triggers, things we think we should do, and double-guessing ourselves.

When you have the tools to hears yourself (your intuition) properly, confusion dissipates and the next step becomes more clear.

If this is something you feel would be helpful for you, please feel free to reach out for a free consultation.
