Provider information
Description
I am offering a reduced individual session rate of $120 while I complete my qualifying requirements. Are you seeking support navigating life’s challenges on your own terms and in a way that fits for you? Is life throwing twists and turns your way, or are you feeling disconnected from purpose and meaning? I am passionate about creating an empowering space to explore issues related to identity, intense and difficult feelings, loss, life transitions, relationships, burnout, caregiving, disability, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, exceptionality, & working within or navigating bureaucracies.
