Reaching out to someone you’ve never met and opening up about your life isn’t easy. It’s completely normal to feel unsure or overwhelmed. I’m here to walk alongside you through many of life’s challenges — things like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, big life changes, and all the complicated feelings that come with them.
If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, weighed down, or simply not yourself, you don’t have to sort through it alone. I offer a steady, compassionate space where you can talk openly, make sense of what’s going on, and start moving toward the kind of change that feels meaningful to you.
We’ll work together in a way that fits who you are. My approach is collaborative and flexible — helping you build insight, strengthen your coping tools, and navigate life with more clarity and confidence.
My work companion, Tigger is a gentle, intuitive therapy dog who accompanies me to work each day. He offers clients a calming presence, helping them regulate their emotions through soft contact or quiet companionship. Whether he’s resting at someone’s feet or offering a reassuring nuzzle, Tigger creates a sense of safety that supports healing and connection.
