Change feels possible when we work together.
1. Book a free 15-minute consult or dive right in with your first session
You can start with a quick call to see if we’re a good fit, or jump right into a session. It’s totally up to you.
2. Start your first session
In our first meeting, we’ll talk about what’s been going on and what you’d like to change. Together, we’ll set goals so you know where we’re heading and how we’ll get there.
3. Keep building, step by step
As we meet, you’ll get personalized support, tools, and insights you can actually use day to day. We’ll always take time to check in on your goals so you can see your progress and feel hopeful about what’s ahead.
All parts of you are welcome here… even the messy, grumpy, or “I’m not sure why I’m doing this” ones.
If you’re ready to take the first step, I’ll be right there beside you.
