Rediscover Balance, Connection, and Purpose

Sometimes, life feels overwhelming, and the challenges we face leave us feeling stuck or disconnected. Stress, worry, anxiety, and burnout are natural reactions to life’s demands, but they don’t have to define your story. Together, we can explore what’s weighing you down, gain clarity on the root causes, and develop tools to move forward.

I work from a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, meaning I work to understand how your past experiences shape your present. This allows us to work together in a way that feels safe, supportive, and empowering.

Specializing in:

  • Trauma recovery and emotional healing

  • Navigating burnout and work-related stress

  • Life transition and relationship challenges

  • Support for first responders and their families

  • E M D R (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing)

Whether you’re seeking to understand yourself better, heal from past experiences, or make meaningful changes in your life, I’m here to help. Together we’ll work towards creating a life where you feel grounded, connected, and hopeful again.
