And that change is an opportunity to cultivate compassion and loving kindness towards ourselves and others. I prov...
I believe that every person holds the power and resources necessary to find happiness. As a trans woman I understand both the external and the internal forces that create self-doubt and spike fear—the loneliness, the separateness, and the tailspin of uncertainty.

For me this is not a theory, but the p...

In the profession I've chosen, my specialties are couples and trauma. I also employ a compassionate yet evidence-based approach to help you achie...
