If you're feeling anxious, weighed down, stuck, or unsure of who you are or where you're headed, you're not alone. Life can feel especially heavy when you're navigating pain, uncertainty, or contemplating the road ahead. Yet within these struggles lies the potential for meaningful change. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, be fully yourself, and begin to untangle the thoughts and feelings that have been holding you back. Together, we’ll work to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more like you. I support individuals, couples, emerging adults, teens, and older adults from all walks of life in finding clarity, confidence, and lasting change—shaped by your unique needs, strengths, and goals.
I aim to provide a warm, supportive space for healing and growth, inspired by the meaning of APRICITY—the warmth of the sun in winter.
