There are seasons in life that stretch us beyond what feels manageable, especially when grief, trauma, anxiety, or major transitions are involved. Even when life feels more stable, staying connected to ourselves amid the pace of daily living can still be a quiet challenge. I invite you into a grounded and supportive space where we can slow down, reflect, and begin the meaningful work that becomes possible through authentic connection. Whether you feel lost, exhausted, or simply unsure of where to start, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, creating room for clarity, wholeness, and emotional well-being.
My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and grounded in relational depth. I draw from existential analysis, grief work, somatic-based therapies, and inner child exploration to support you in understanding the layers of your experience. Together, we can gently untangle what’s been carried and nurture the parts of you that are ready for care.
Come exactly as you are. No matter what stage you’re at, my goal is to meet you there with compassionate and guidance. I often bring a spiritual lens into our work, helping you reconnect to your intuition, creativity, and sense of purpose. It is my role to provide the mirror through which you recognize your highest self, find inner balance, and heal.
