About me

Since a young age, I felt called to walk with people on their healing journeys. I have worked with victims/survivors of domestic and sexual violence as well as those living with serious mental illness and have been a meditation and nontraditional healing student for over 30 years. I believe in each person's innate wisdom, and I am also profoundly inspired by the grace and healing available that can be supported through a therapeutic process.

I was looking for someone who could take more of a direct approach with me while still being empathetic. She met all my needs.

These sessions truly help me explore different aspects of my well-being—emotionally, mentally, and even physically—in ways I hadn’t considered before. My therapist creates a space where I feel seen and understood, and her guidance has been a 10/10 in helping me grow and navigate life more intentionally.
