Are you here because you feel called? Perhaps you’re looking to explore unlived potential, let go of patterns that no longer work, or process something that’s been on your mind for as long as you can remember. At the same time, you may feel stuck, anxious, ambivalent, or even resistant. Answering the call to live an examined life is a courageous act. Further, neuroscience has proven we all have the capacity for change, regardless of age. I’m here to act as a guide and accompany you on your journey; to listen deeply, to hold space for you, and to ask meaningful questions that empower you to awaken and embody your own inner healer.

While there is no blueprint to life, if you have a history of adverse life experiences, or come from an unstable home, you may feel like the "house" of your life is built on sand and you are unable to withstand life's storms. If you are living with unresolved trauma, a diagnosed condition, are shouldering a new burden, are reeling from grief, or if you have quietly battled mental health symptoms or addiction for years you may feel broken and unable to recover. Yet, my personal and professional experiences have taught me it is through experiencing brokenness we emerge our most resilient.
