Let's be real: life often throws the hardest curveballs, which leave us feeling damaged, lost, and fearful of how to recover or return to "how things used to be." Too often, we feel unheard and alone in our darkness. And more often than not, we experience the greatest heartache from those closest to us: partners, family members, or friends. Whether you're carrying the weight of past trauma or struggling through recent challenges, my hope is to walk alongside you as you move toward peace, one step at a time.

I'm passionate about helping clients navigate their honest thoughts and emotions as they take steps towards clarity. Through our journey together, I guide each individual in discovering their core values and boundaries—foundations that empower greater self-advocacy and self-love.

Everyone deserves a space to fully be themselves and process their emotions without fear of judgment. Through honest, candid discussion, I strive to provide direction and safety for those who seek healing. Most of all, I hope that my clients will come to deeply feel and believe that they are not alone. There is always hope.
