Nice to meet you
My goal is to support and motivate people to move forward in life with hope. I work with individuals and couples navigating life’s transitions and challenges. I also have experience supporting those impacted by addiction, shame, grief, and family conflict. While we can’t change the past, we can work together to understand and overcome its impact. I believe in building a path toward healing, growth, and freedom—one step at a time.
