My ideal clients are anyone who’s carrying pain, stress, or confusion and is ready to be met with kindness. You don’t have to have everything figured out, and you don’t have to “prove” your struggle. Whether you feel it’s a small problem or a big one, if you’re suffering and want a safe place to be seen and heard, you belong here. I especially welcome people who are: • Living with addiction or worried about their relationship with substances or behaviors • Navigating challenging relationships—whether that means conflict, disconnection, or emotional overwhelm
I can help you by bringing together meaningful therapy skills, deep presence, and lived understanding. I’m Gestalt trained and also work with eco-therapy, so we explore what’s happening in the moment and how your environment, relationships, and daily life may be shaping your mental health and recovery.
If you’re struggling with mental health, addiction, or challenging relationships, you deserve a space where you feel seen and heard not judged. I’m Gestalt trained and offer eco-therapy, with deep lived experience supporting recovery and healing. If you’re ready, reach out—let’s talk.
