About My Clients

I have worked with clients with wide ranging experiences including, parenting concerns, anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, adjusting to life changes, and low self compassion. I have worked with experiences such as sexual, and emotional abuse, child hood trauma and domestic violence.

My Background and Approach

My approach is deeply human and collaborative. It’s less about what’s “wrong” and more about what’s happened—and how those experiences continue to shape identity, relationships, and a sense of safety in the world. I bring lived experience, a warm but direct presence, and a belief in the power of real connection. This isn’t therapy where someone nods along and lets things drift. I challenge clients when needed, while staying attuned to nuance, pacing, and emotional safety.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Sessions are shaped by what matters to the individual. There’s room for humor, for contradiction, for being unsure. And over time, space opens for deeper insight, relief, and change.
