My strength is seeing through the surface, getting to the heart of the matter, and holding steady when things get messy. I don’t flinch at complexity—I specialize in people who’ve been through hell and are still standing. If you’re tired of watered-down therapy or surface-level coping skills, I’m the kind of therapist who leans in, listens deeply, and tracks the whole picture—soul, psyche, nervous system, dreams, defense mechanisms, and where you’re stuck repeating old patterns.
I offer compassionate challenge, enthusiastic learning, levity, grace, nonjudgment, a grounding presence through structure without rigidity; and freedom without chaos. I work with trauma, grief, creativity, identity, spiritual awakenings, and other forms of modern madness. It’s not about fitting into a sick world but deepening your love authenticity and joy.
I offer a free 20-minute consult call for a vibe check. If you’re ready to be deeply seen, to understand why you do what you do, and to reclaim your space. If you’re ready to be honest with yourself, your pain, your dreams, in order to liberate yourself . If you want a therapist who won’t just repeat back and nod, but help you find your way, reach out today

Most psychological suffering is the consequence of living a life that is out of alignment with your soul or authentic self. The more our exterior lives do not line up with the calling of our soul the greater we suffer. And our symptoms are messengers, trying to communicate, "don't go that way" or " go this way." So in this way we will seek to understand your symptoms as well as relieve them.
