About My Clients

You came into this world with a generous heart, a beautiful spirit, and a curious mind. This goodness never leaves you. But life brings hurt, loss, and struggles—it's part of the human experience. Over time, pain may build up and some of your coping strategies can become their own kind of struggle. However this shows up for you, these patterns can take a toll, leaving you vulnerable, exhausted, or overwhelmed. But there is another way. I'm here to help you come home to yourself.

My Background and Approach

When life feels unsafe or gets difficult, your mind finds ways to get you through. Left unchecked though, some of these strategies can begin to undermine your wellbeing. This can look like a mind that’s hard to turn off, needs to stay busy or numb out, or gets hijacked by a persistent worrier, perfectionist, or critic. With over 20 years of experience, I'm here to help you feel better inside. How? We'll make space to heal the underlying hurts you carry. We’ll explore how to interrupt persistent unhelpful patterns. We'll tend to trauma or grief that surfaces, and help you cultivate enduring resilience. I'll bring warmth, a touch of humor when fitting, as well as an array of evidence-based tools. Throughout, I’ll hold compassionate space. We'll also welcome your lived experience and strengths, and listen to your insights. We’ll honor your creative energy too, and what feels sacred to you. This journey is about coming home to yourself. I work with teens 16+ and adults of all ages.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My own journey to peace has taught me a lot about non-contingent worth and belonging. It showed me that even if we've lost touch with our essential goodness, it is unbreakable and ever present. I learned that levity and a bit of sass go a long way, and that self-kindness can pave the way to wellbeing. I've come to deeply appreciate that we're more than bodies passing through this world. We are each experiencing a whole human adventure, with all its mess and beauty—profound beings with big hearts navigating life's complexities. And that transforming conditioned patterns isn’t about fixing ourselves. Rather, it's rediscovering that we're already - and always will be - whole and worthy. This work is close to my heart. I'm genuinely honored to partner with you in healing and reconnecting with your essential goodness. If you'd like to learn more about how I can support you, send me a message or visit my website.
