Let's Connect (506) 405-8990

There was a time when I felt like I was moving through life slightly underwater, disconnected from myself and weighed down by something I couldn’t name. Over time, I realized my pain wasn’t only personal, but also shaped by the systems around me. We live in a world that often rewards disconnection, numbing, quick fixes, and performance over presence. As bell hooks says, “Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” I’m here to walk alongside you in your process of unfolding and becoming.

We'll slow down and listen to the parts of you that have carried the pain of being misunderstood or rejected, both in your personal story and within the larger social and cultural story. Healing doesn’t mean adapting to dysfunction. It means reclaiming your wholeness, even in a world that may have asked you to fragment yourself to survive.

When we work together, the aim isn’t perfection. It’s presence. You’ll begin to loosen the grip of old patterns, embody new truths, and align your actions with your values. The result is often a deeper connection to yourself and others, a more grounded sense of identity, and the quiet fulfillment that comes from living a life that finally feels like yours.
