About me
My ideal client is someone who finds themselves at a crossroads — someone who knows they are capable of more but feels stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed. You may be navigating a major life transition, struggling with self-doubt, or searching for clarity. You're not looking for quick fixes or surface-level advice; you want a deeper, more sustainable change. You're seeking someone who will challenge you kindly, help you untangle complexity, and guidance toward goals that feel meaningful and aligned with who you truly are. My work is to help bridge that gap between where you are and where you want to be with practical steps forward.
I believe in personalized support for every individual. My approach combines evidence-based practices with a deep understanding of your personal journey, ensuring you feel heard and valued.
