Welcome to Wounded Joy. I believe we all carry wounds—and still deserve joy. My approach honors each person’s unique path to healing, recognizing that answers often live within. I offer a space to explore your own way toward inner peace and joy, with deep respect for the pace and individuality of your journey. Since 2000, my work in social services has spanned housing, Child protective services, medical care and gender dysphoria support. Each role has deepened my understanding of systemic barriers, strengthened my clinical skills, cultural humility and the ability to provide compassionate, client-centered support.
I meet every person with an open heart and mind, ready to hear your story. Your experiences matter. I create a safe, nurturing space where you can speak freely, without judgment—just a clear, compassionate path toward joy. We will work together to create your path forward.
“Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness and still become something beautiful".
