Nice to meet you

I offer a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your inner self. You may feel stuck repeating old patterns, unsure how to set boundaries, or weighed down by the past. I bring warmth, compassion, and humor as we go at your pace. I specialize in supporting individuals through anxiety, grief, relational wounds, and identity shifts. Using mindfulness, parts work, and emotionally focused therapy, I help you move from self-judgment to self-compassion and feel supported, understood, and empowered as you heal.
