Philosophy I am committed to creating safety and building relationships grounded in loving presence, curiosity, mutual respect, trust, and inclusive open mindedness that provides an opportunity to bring you whole, authentic self into the shared space: heart, mind, body, and spirit. I value an environment in which clients feel heard, validated, supported, and empowered as an active participant in their uniquely personal process of healing and growth. I believe that we are beings more complex than our individual biology with intimate, multidirectional interactions between our physical bodies, out thoughts and cognitions, our spiritual self, and our energetic bodies. I envision a kinder world, one in which every voice is respected and relationships are container for healing ourselves, our bonds to one another, and our inextricable kinship to the planet and all relations.
