About me
I'm passionate about helping those with significant trauma and abuse stories to overcome and thrive after trauma. I'm a trauma survivor myself, I know what it takes day-in and day-out to find your peace, and awaken your higher self. I've been down this road many times, and I'm happy to carry the lantern as you find your path to healing.
I'm an existential therapist, which means I believe in order to find peace, we need to make meaning of our lives and our place in the universe. I hold the lantern as my clients heal by walking through what's happened to them, what that means, and finding empowerment in taking control of who they want to be, awakening their higher selves. This is depth work, shadow work, true alignment with your highest potential. This is the sacred art of healing, and its hard work, but I'm here to walk alongside you!
I use a variety of treatment approaches and interventions to help you find your unique path to healing. Each of us is unique in our needs, values, strengths and challenges, but we each have a path to our own best selves. No two clients are the same, and I like to meet each client where there are.
