The rhythm of life can sometimes feel unpredictable and overwhelming, like a chaotic song without a steady or calming beat.
As a therapist, I am certified in trauma-informed therapy, and my approach is rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and connection. As a fellow human, I understand the deep desire to find or rediscover the rhythm in your life that feels grounded and true.
Together, we will work to restore your unique tempo and create the harmony you seek. Your life is its own symphony, and I am here to help you conduct it with intention and care.
