I wouldn't be here if it hadn't been for my therapist years ago. I walk this journey with my clients knowing what it feels like to do the work. Do you have trauma in your past that you just can't seem to shake no matter how much you've convinced yourself you're "fine"? Do you have a loss you think you should have "gotten over" by now? Do you have a complex relationship with your parent or adverse childhood experiences? I'm here to walk with you. I am experienced with parenting, neurodivergence, PTSD, relational issues, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss. I'm an ally, a parent, and a survivor. Let's heal together.
