What makes me different
My work is shaped by both training and lived experience. I know trauma healing and midlife transition not as abstract concepts, but as realities that unsettle identity, strain the nervous system, and ask for new ways of relating to ourselves.
My experience has been that growth is rarely comfortable or pretty. I can guide you.
The medicine is in the mess.
I don’t position myself as an expert who has arrived. I position myself as a steady companion who knows this landscape intimately. In the therapy room, that means I’m willing to acknowledge uncertainty, complexity, and mess — without collapsing into them. When it serves you, I use deliberate self-disclosure to normalize what is often pathologized and to remind you that you are not broken or “too much.” I bring my full self to our work and show up with authenticity, empathy, and inuition — as well as a sense of humor and play.
Healing, in my experience, doesn’t come from having all the answers. It comes from learning how to stay present, curious, and resourced while living in the questions.
