My Approach to Helping

Counseling is a relationship; one where you get to experience care, discovery, and belonging as your whole self, unconditionally. I believe healing is a collaborative process – one rooted in compassion, authenticity, and a strong sense of care. My style is steady and attuned; I offer both gentle presence and thoughtful challenge. I make room for you to unlearn, to unravel, reveal, and reconnect to something larger, to all that makes us whole. When we slow down, we remember we are part of something larger — this can ease the loneliness, self-criticism, and pressure that often weigh us down. We can experience belonging without having to prove or perform, inviting gentleness, honesty, and new possibilities. By turning together toward the wholeness within you — your capacity to care deeply, to play and create, to find clarity, and to imagine new possibilities — our work can support you in living a life that feels authentic, connected, and sustaining.
