I work with individuals ready to embrace personal growth, whether they're navigating a major life change or processing past trauma. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, but they're committed to exploring what’s holding them back. They’re open to vulnerability and willing to face difficult emotions in order to build a more authentic life. Together, we work on building resilience, developing self-awareness, and gaining clarity, so they can move forward with confidence.
I bring over 15 years of experience in mental health and trauma-informed care, working with diverse populations from teens to adults. My approach combines compassion with practical tools to help clients navigate life changes, trauma, and identity. I believe in creating a safe, collaborative space to help clients move forward with resilience.
I understand that life can bring up difficult emotions and experiences, and it can be hard to navigate them alone. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard and supported as we work together to address your challenges. If you're ready to start, I invite you to reach out and take the first step toward finding the clarity and peace you're looking
