My goal is for you to feel truly seen, heard, and supported from the moment we begin. In our sessions, you can expect a space where it's okay to be honest, unsure, messy, or vulnerable—whatever you're carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone. I’ll show up with empathy, curiosity, and honesty. I’ll support you when things feel heavy, and gently challenge you when you’re ready to grow. We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, always moving toward greater self-understanding, confidence, and ease. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up as you are—I’ll meet you there.
