Here is how we work together:

  • Mindfulness & Body Connection: I help you gently connect with your breath and body through meditation and qigong.

  • Goal Setting: We use collaborative, action-based planning to help you clarify your values.

  • Coping Tools: You will learn how to handle adversity when it hits and gain confidence in your own strength, including advocating for your needs.
