About Me

My clients come to me seeking clarity around their purpose and path in this life. Many have struggled with stagnation and indifference, and they are eager to find their spark again. I strive to help my clients tap into a felt sense of possibility. From there, we work together to develop their inner refuge — that sacred internal place of balance and wisdom from which they can navigate the complexities of life. Those who benefit most are curious about approaches that help them drop beneath overthinking and into a steadier, more embodied presence. Integrating Mindfulness, Trauma- Informed care that includes EMDR, and Neuroscience, I help clients breathe more space into the places where they feel tangled and stuck. From that steadier ground, we can observe those entanglements with compassion and a multidimensional perspective. As we flash on such moments of insight, we begin to feel relief. With compassion as my guide, I enter each session with the sincere intent to connect in a heartfelt way. My hope is to help you learn about the protections you are reflexively using for your heart—and to introduce you to an array of other protections that can be cultivated to enhance your sense of safety, strength, and well-being.
