No waitlist; get started today (as of 5/2/25)! Do you find it difficult to get through daily tasks? Gen Z + Millennials are feeling anxious about and unsure how to have healthy relationships, level up in their careers, and live full lives. I believe motivated adults and devoted couples can meaningfully change when they are empowered and heard. I start by listening to your story, including needs and present challenges. I help by creating a tailored approach that fits you. Your plan gets you anchored and moving with purpose, clarity, and confidence. It's time to create and experience your true, profound healing and change.

I offer cognitive- and body-based exercises to help you stay grounded and present. For you overthinkers, I reconnect your mind with your body. I foster your sense of feeling understood and seen. Moreover, I enable you to achieve wellness. You gain coping/relaxation strategies, heal from unresolved trauma, and work through a loss with meticulous care.

My priorities are simple- listen and understand first, help second. I show up as authentic, attentive, and committed within a nurturing space. I also weave in humor and lightness and foster a sense of calm and hope. I am ready to hold space for your vulnerabilities and truths. Book your free consultation online today, and let's take the first step, together.
