Whether you’re facing grief, trauma, anxiety, or major life transitions, you don’t have to navigate these experiences alone. My goal is to help you move from survival to healing, rebuilding a sense of wholeness and hope.

You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe to show up exactly as you are. I provide a confidential, compassionate environment to explore what you’re going through, make sense of your experiences, and begin building tools for healing and growth. Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, or major life changes, you don’t have to walk this journey alone.
