Do any of these feel familiar?

  • You’re working to break patterns shaped by the past or generational trauma.
  • You want to release shame and soften self-criticism.
  • You’re navigating a major life change and looking for steady support.

If so, I’m here to help.

  • Healing rarely moves in a straight line. It unfolds through connection, both with others and with ourselves. My role is to offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can slow down, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with your inner world.
  • Therapy is most effective when it reflects who you are. Together, we’ll shape a process that feels supportive, transparent, and rooted in your lived reality. Walking with people through challenging moments is a privilege, and I hold that trust with care.
  • In our work, you can expect warmth, authenticity, empowerment, humor, and gentleness. My approach is trauma-informed and influenced by humanistic, relational, and liberation-based perspectives, all aimed at helping you feel understood and supported.

What can you expect?

  • A deeper sense of self-awareness and connection.
  • Confidence in your own strengths and inner wisdom.
  • Skills that help you meet life’s challenges with more clarity and resilience.
