About My Clients

So many of us are exhausted but can't slow down long enough to reconnect with who we are and why we're here. I work with people who are high-functioning on the outside but feel depleted, flat, or numb on the inside. My clients often struggle with perfectionism, chronic stress, and self-worth that feels tied to performance, appearance, or productivity.

My Background and Approach

My work centers on helping you reconnect with a felt sense of aliveness - not through self-optimization, but through presence, meaning, and joyful participation in life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I named my practice Hearth Light because I believe that vitality - or a sense of feeling alive - is more like a warm hearth that a bonfire. A full, vibrant life is built on more than enjoyment alone - it grows through honest self-confrontation, emotional responsibility, creative effort, and daily tending. One of the largest challenges of cultivating vitality is finding the balance between meaningful effort and letting go of perfection and control. That's what I'm here to help you build!
