Introduction

You are not alone in facing life's challenges. I offer a compassionate, grounded space for healing and growth. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or in the midst of a life transition, I’m here to support you in truly thriving. What matters is you, your story, and goals. I work with adults, couples and teens navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, attachment injuries and styles, depression, relationship challenges, addictions, co-occurring disorders, and life transitions. My practice is affirming of all cultures, backgrounds, and identities. Calm the water and reach for your horizons. Together we'll utilize the tools and method from various evidenced based practices that meet your personal needs. I also bring practical insights into the experiences of veterans, neurodivergent adults, and individuals exploring meaning, purpose or identity. It takes courage to reach out—this is the first step. In a high-tech career, I developed a deep appreciation for high-functioning stress, career burnout, and yearning for a more aligned living. This led me to working with addictions recovery, trauma, somatic approaches to chronic pain, emotional healing, mindfulness and secular spiritual exploration. We can utilize whatever feels right to you.o prospective clients. We suggest adding how you got started, any treatment or client specializations, and how your services can provide a meaningful impact to clients.
