ABOUT ME

​

I didn’t come to this work from a distance. I’ve lived through experiences that make life feel overwhelming, unstable, or difficult to make sense of. I know what it’s like to lose your footing and slowly find your way back. That matters here, because when you describe something confusing or heavy, I don’t need you to translate it into clinical language. I understand the terrain. I’ve been there.

My background blends lived experience, clinical training, and years of direct work with individuals and couples. I’ve helped people untangle identity, rebuild emotional stability, and repair relationships that felt impossible to navigate. I’ve also taught other professionals and contributed to shaping systems of care, but the core of my work is simple: sit with the person in front of me, understand them, and help them find a way through.

I meet people where they are. If you’re new to therapy, we begin with grounding, clarity, and skills that help daily life feel more manageable. If you’ve done a lot of therapy but still feel stuck, we can move into deeper layers of experience: old pain, exiled parts of self, identity confusion, emotional shutdown, relational looping, or the feeling of losing yourself in connection.

The process is steady, warm, and collaborative. Sometimes it’s about slowing down enough to stay present. Sometimes it’s about revisiting experiences that once felt unsafe, but doing so gently and with support. Sometimes it’s about understanding yourself in a way that finally feels coherent, rather than just developing coping strategies.

We don’t force breakthroughs or rush. We move at a pace that allows real change to take root.
