I offer a collaborative, compassionate space where you’re met with empathy and respect. Together, we’ll name the good, confront the bad, and dive into the ugly—because the “ugly” often lies, insisting there’s no good left. By exposing that lie, we reclaim your strengths and shape goals that fit your unique needs. My care is trauma-informed and evidence-based, with safety as the top priority as we address mother and father wounds, trauma, parenting stress, and life transitions. Wherever you are in your healing journey, I’ll meet you there and support your growth.
