I believe identity and an understanding of life's roles are often at the heart of growth and development. We often lose our place during life’s journey for a variety of reasons, and that’s part of being human. If you’re trying to discover, re-discover, or even re-invent yourself on a new level, I can help. Sometimes it’s difficult to move forward until we know who we are and what our role is in this world–especially when changes happen.

Healing is personal for me. I believe the most powerful therapy stems from authentic connection—I don’t just hear you; I see you because I’ve walked the path myself. I am a survivor of domestic violence, abandonment, and divorce. I’ve navigated life as a young, single, and married mom, overcoming physical, mental, and psychological abuse along the way. My own journey through trauma and imposter syndrome allows me to meet you with radical empathy and zero judgment. You’ve carried this weight alone long enough. I’m here to help you reclaim your story and find your best, most authentic self. You don't have to do this alone anymore.
