About My Clients

My clients might be carrying a full professional life while trying to stay connected to themselves, their relationships, and what matters outside of work. Some are caregivers who have been reliable for everyone else and are noticing that their own needs have become harder to hear. Finally, many are making sense of a death, relationship change, health shift, or other loss that has altered the shape of everyday life.

My Background and Approach

I provide an attentive, collaborative space for adults to slow down, understand what is happening, and make choices that feel more grounded. My approach is warm and direct. The work makes room for the realities of identity, culture, relationships, and the systems that shape how stress is carried. Sessions are collaborative and practical. It's a private place to name what is difficult, understand familiar patterns, and experiment with gradual changes that feel possible in real life. I welcome the full context of each client’s life, including culture, identity, family roles, work, and relationships.
