My Approach to Helping

Life is a rich tapestry of pain and beauty, suffering and joy. If you’re feeling hopeless, fearful, lonely or just plain "stuck" - you’re not alone. I’ve walked this path myself and deeply understand the challenges life can bring. With over 20 years of dedicated experience supporting youth, women, and the LGBTQIA+ community across three continents, I’ve learned one profound truth: no matter the struggle, hope is always within reach. If you’ve lost sight of it, I will help you find it. Together, we’ll face challenges head-on, cultivate resilience, and embrace the beauty and possibilities life has to offer.

Our work will begin by exploring painful areas in your life. We will investigate them gently, respectfully and with a keen awareness of any unresolved trauma and the mind-body connection. We will also discover and practice (imperfectly) new skills aimed at growth and healing. Together we will discover the wealth of resources that already exist inside of you.

You are the expert of your own life, with profound inner strength. Emotions like sadness, anxiety, fear, and loneliness are natural parts of the journey. I will stand with you in those tender moments, offering guidance and support. Together, we will uncover clarity, foster healing, and rediscover peace.
