About me
We are made of stories—stitched together by memory, experience, longing, and the quiet hope that healing is possible. My work is to listen for those stories. To hold them gently. To help you find the threads you want to keep, and the ones you're ready to release.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve sat with people navigating the raw edges of trauma, the ache of anxiety, the fog of depression, the quiet complexity of ADHD. I’ve held space for survivors of sexual assault, for those untangling themselves from religious wounds, for souls reckoning with illness, identity, and the grief of what was never given.
This isn’t a space of judgment. It’s a space of returning—to yourself, your voice, your power. Whether you're arriving with specific pain or a sense that something inside you is stirring, you are welcome here. You are not too much. You are not too late.
