I work with women, men, and teens seeking coaching to manage difficult times, depression, and addressing experiences of harm. I offer my clients a trauma-informed approach to life coaching. Our work together starts when a client reaches out, and I learn about how I may be helpful to them in that particular chapter in their life. From there, we discuss ways to move forward.

You’re sick and tired of being the strong friend. You’re fed up with always being there for everyone else but having no one to turn to for yourself. You’ve held it together for a long time now but lately it just feels like things are unraveling. It feels like you’re sad, scared, or tired all the time. You’ve lost yourself in all of this and know you need to get back on track. You’re ready to set boundaries, stop taking care of everyone else at the expense of yourself, and to feel like you again. You’re just now quite sure how to get there. That’s where I come in.

You’re insightful, resilient, and often the strong one for others—but lately, you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just plain exhausted. Maybe trauma, identity stress, or systemic oppression have left you questioning your worth or purpose.

You’re not looking for quick fixes—you want real healing, honest connection, and a therapist who gets the weight of what you carry without needing it explained.
