about me

The fears. The strategies that once kept you safe. The parts that whisper, “don’t mess this up.”

My role is to help you trace the thread between what happened then and what’s happening now — to make sense of why your brain does what it does, without judgment or shame.

I use humor the same way a flashlight cuts through the dark. We laugh at the monsters under the bed to take away their power to scare us. I’m direct, but never unkind. I’ll call you on a pattern when I see it, but always from a place of care and respect. My clients say I make them feel safe, seen, and believed in — even when we’re naming the hard things.

I work with teens, young adults, and families because I believe that healing early matters. There’s this story about villagers rescuing children from a river — until one person finally walks upstream to find out why the children are falling in to begin with. That’s the kind of work I want to do. I don’t want people ending up in the river — I want to help them repair what’s been broken before it becomes a lifetime of survival mode.

To me, resilience isn’t about surviving. It’s about being able to hold your shape — to rise again, not untouched, but transformed. We don’t have to be grateful for the things that hurt us. But we can learn to rise from them with more strength, more meaning, and a clearer sense of who we are.
