You don’t need to be fixed; You need to be understood in context.
Clients often come to me feeling exhausted, disconnected, hyper-vigilant, or ashamed for struggling in a world that has not been kind to them. In our work, we focus on building safety, restoring agency, and reconnecting you to your own wisdom.
You don’t have to prove that what you went through was “bad enough” — your pain is real, and it deserves care. I am a politicized healer who works with adults and elders navigating how their experiences shaped their survival strategies and how those strategies impact their relationships, self-esteem, and lives.
My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches and person-centered care, which means you are not a diagnosis or a problem to solve. You are the expert on your own life. Together, we will gently explore what is still hurting, what no longer serves you, and what is ready to change — at a pace that honors your nervous system, neurotype, and boundaries.
Change is not linear, and healing doesn’t mean forgetting or becoming someone else — it means finding more steadiness, self-trust, presence in the moment, and room to breathe inside your own life.
You don’t have to do this alone.
When you’re ready, support is here.
