Does life seem confusing or even impossible? Does it ever feel like even when you are with others you feel alone? It is brave to ask for help. With every fiber of my being, I believe you have the answers you need and you can be the expert on you. Let me help you better understand your story and help guide you out of the dark places you are stuck in and into your truth. So much of the time we are living a narrative that others have crafted, by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but you have the ability to heal and take back your story.
I want to help people embrace compassion, gain clarity, and build a healthy lifestyle drawing from personal strength. I work from a Narrative and Systems Approach heavily utilizing Brief Solution Focused techniques. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional II.
Self-love must include the whole person and all parts - messy, vulnerable and best of all, authentic. I want to take the time to get to know you, understand what you care about and what you seek. I believe in building trust and providing adults with an emotionally safe place to heal and grow.

As a clinician, some of my strengths lie in assisting others who are discovering personal leadership and honoring natural healing abilities. I work from the belief that each person is an expert on themselves, and help people connect with a path that works for them.
