I believe one of the bravest things we can do is to understand our story. Owning our story can bring us to self-acceptance and healing. I can help get you there. Do you feel like you’re hitting a wall? Feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns? Stuck in your past trauma? Bad relationships? You deserve more than the anger and hurt that you’re carrying with you each day. These walls you’re hitting can be broken down. We just need to take a few steps back, and face these walls together. Come in, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea (on me) and let’s talk about it.

My ideal client is someone facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or relational challenges. They may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in negative patterns. Their needs include a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their emotions and practical tools to manage their symptoms. Their goals are to build healthier relationships, achieve emotional stability, and regain a sense of purpose and fulfillment. They want to heal, grow, and lead a more balanced, meaningful life.

To imagine an ideal client, I’d imagine someone that is open and willing to take an honest look at themselves; have a willingness to commit to building a safe space to heal and someone that can work remotely. They want someone who brings good energy to the space and they want to feel valued and heard.

Prioritizing your health, both physical and mental, is a sign of strength. I have spent the majority of my career working with survivors of various traumas and felt honored to observe the dedication of my clients to live the fulfilling and healthy life they deserve. Traumas can manifest in unexpected ways: relationship difficulties, depression/anxiety, academic/workplace obstacles, low self-esteem, etc.. I can support you in identifying these trends, processing the underlying causes, and ending unhealthy habits. You can do this; I can help.
