About My Clients

I think we can all agree that feeling stuck and directionless in life is a pretty miserable feeling. It can also be deceiving. You might have everything “all together” on the outside, but the reality is you haven’t felt that spark in life for some time now. If you were being completely honest, how long do you think it’s been since you truly took care of your needs? If it’s been a while, you might have been putting the needs of others before your own, which means you could be in burnout territory

My Background and Approach

It is my absolute passion to help people build the self-esteem, coping skills, and boundaries necessary to build the life they dream of. I use a down to earth and nonjudgmental approach to support clients through their trauma work (with a little bit of tough love because we all need a loving kick in the butt from time to time). We'll work on leaving people-pleasing behaviors behind, developing mindfulness skills to recognize your body's needs and learning how to reframe thoughts that keep us feeling anxious and depressed so you can feel more in control of your life.
