Life gets messy and painful sometimes. We can get stuck—feeling overwhelmed with trauma, depression, anxiety, undesirable circumstances, and disconnection. Having someone to share these experiences with can help us to get out of our heads and begin living deep within our hearts. I aim to create a space to help you find meaning out of the heaviness and feel empowered by the strengths you already have. You are truly the expert of your story, and I hope to walk with you in your journey towards self-acceptance and self-compassion.

I support humans navigating big life shifts—new moms and women juggling life's challenges, kids figuring out who they are, and teens wrestling with family and peer pressures. Women come to me for real talk, not perfection, finding balance and calm in the chaos. Kids and teens find a space to be unapologetically themselves, learning to handle life’s messiness with resilience. My style? Honest, compassionate, and down-to-earth, helping each person feel heard, understood, and ready to tackle their journey.
