If you want a more authentic, straight-shooter type of vibe, welcome. The goal is to provide insight to help you and/or your partner(s) understand the dynamics and core wounds that keep us stuck. I am passionate about complex trauma and relational work & believe the number one healer is connection (most importantly, connection to self).
