I'm honored to get to do this work, and I specifically feel most helpful when I'm working with clients who are experiencing grief and loss, life transitions, and identity exploration.
To be a human tasked with enduring life's wonders, joys, and sorrows can be complicated and, at times, all too overwhelming. It can be scary to feel like we're off, stuck, or detached from reality. If you're here because you're hurting or simply because you want to live more authentically, I commend you for mustering up the effort and vulnerability it took to arrive, and I welcome you.
