Introduction

I draw from years of experience working with trauma, identity challenges, complex family systems, anxiety, and cultural stressors. My approach is steady, collaborative, and grounded in ACT, trauma‑informed care, and adoption‑competent training. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected build clarity, stay present, and move toward a life that feels more connected and aligned with their values.
