Introduction

Are you navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling down, stuck, or in need of support? It’s normal to feel overwhelmed when life shifts beneath your feet, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals who are feeling weighed down by change, uncertainty, or new challenges. Together, we’ll make space to understand what you’re experiencing, recognize and draw on your strengths, and find a path forward that feels meaningful and sustainable. I bring warmth, curiosity, and collaboration to every session. I strive to be a supportive partner as you explore what matters most and how you want to live. I specialize in working with adults and older adults, with a particular focus on supporting caregivers. I believe that healing and meaningful change happen when we feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. When we have space to explore our experiences without judgment, we can begin to develop greater self-awareness, deepen our relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
