Core Values

My mission is to lead with love.

My goal is to empower people to be free of guilt and shame and to live their truth.

My purpose lies in stewarding curiosity and self-compassion, and helping others grow into more authentic versions of themselves.

Empathy

  • I believe that all people are wired to need connection and compassion.

  • I will support you in increasing your self-compassion and couples/family members will be supported in increasing empathy for their loved ones.

  • I will create an environment of emotional and physical safety, free of judgment and discrimination for all people regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, religion, ability, sexual identity, gender identity, or status.

 

Trauma-Informed

  • I recognize that trauma has lasting impacts on a person’s and group’s mental, relational, physical, social, and spiritual well-being.

  • I welcome each client with the understanding that trauma (direct, indirect, generational, systemic, relational, acute, chronic, covert, overt) has likely impacted them in the past or present whether this is directly disclosed or not.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

  • I recognize that the foundation of trust begins by honoring and validating the truth of my clients’ experiences.

  • My clients are the experts of their own story and experiences. 

  • I aim to facilitate empowerment in my clients towards their goals, with respect for each client’s beliefs, cultures, identities and values.

  • I will respect and support you in your unique life experiences and cultural intersectionalities.

  • All clients will be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect as an individual—gender identity will be respected, and you will be referred to by your name and pronouns.

“When we liberate ourselves from the expectation that we must have all things figured out, we enter a sanctuary of empathy.”
