I specialize in trauma, and I am highly skilled at helping people understand what drives their patterns so they can finally heal. Clients come to me when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and I help them create real movement with clarity and compassion. I am direct, honest, and deeply attuned. If you are ready to stop repeating the same cycles and step into your most authentic self, even if you don't know what that is yet, I will journey with you through the work that truly transforms.

I help you understand what is happening inside you, align your actions with your values, and move out of the places where you feel stuck. Together we work through trauma, guilt, shame, and anger with clarity and honesty so you can feel grounded, resilient, and fully yourself again. Healing happens when you can finally face the things you’ve been avoiding.

If you or someone you know is looking for affordable counseling options, Athena Counseling currently has immediate availability with trauma-informed counseling interns offering sessions at $30/hour. Please check out our website to learn more.
