Welcome to my page! You may be living with the effects of trauma, coercive control, emotional or spiritual harm, or a long period of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps relationships have felt unsafe or confusing, your sense of identity has been shaken, or daily life feels heavier than it should. You may be searching for clarity, stability, and relief from patterns that no longer feel manageable. Many people who reach out are not only looking to cope, but to understand what has happened to them, to restore a sense of dignity and self-trust, and to feel hope and meaning again.
Over more than 30 years of working with anxiety, pain, and trauma, I am continually moved by the resilience people carry, even in the aftermath of profound difficulty. My work is trauma-informed and paced with care, supporting both the need for greater stability in daily life and a deeper understanding of lived experience, relationships, and a sense of self.
I am open-minded, authentic, and warm. I use an integrative approach that is most suited to your personality type, current situation and specific needs. My role is to offer a steady, compassionate presence where difficult feelings and memories can be approached safely, without pressure or judgement. There is light between the cracks!

I work with adults affected by trauma, coercive control, spiritual or relational harm, anxiety, and major life transitions. Together we move at a careful, trauma-informed pace to understand what you've lived through, strengthen emotional stability, and restore clarity, dignity, and meaning. Change is grounded in compassionate, warm authentic and collaborative care.

My work is depth-oriented and trauma-informed, linking early life experiences, family of origin, and past trauma with present emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Together we gently explore patterns that may no longer serve you, supporting greater understanding, emotional stability, and meaningful change in daily life. At its heart, it's about connection, meaning, and feeling fully alive.
