My Approach

I understand what it’s like to carry more than you share and still be expected to function.

Some never had the opportunity to pause or focus on themselves. They’ve managed their own trauma, depression, or anxiety while caring for family members, meeting others’ emotional needs, and keeping daily routines going. I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults in moments when they felt completely disoriented. I know that survival can look like staying silent, shutting down, avoiding others, or acting out. I do not see those as character flaws. They are responses to difficult experiences.

I’m straightforward but address what I notice with care and stay engaged when things are difficult. I see resilience not as proof that someone is fine, but as evidence of the challenges they have had to navigate. Even the strongest people need care, attention, and rest. Healing begins when it’s safe to feel emotions that were once unsafe.

I help people put their experiences into words, not to get them perfect but to make them clearer. You don’t need to know exactly how to explain what is going on to begin. You just need to show up, and I’ll be there with you through progress, setbacks, and everything in between.

I want to help you fully express yourself. All of you. Not just the parts that feel polished or put together, but the ones you’ve had to hide to survive. I’m not here to help you fit into a world that asked you to stay silent about what shaped you. I’m here to stand with you while you figure out how to live in it. Fully and unapologetically.
