Blossoming into You

Overcoming Trauma

Healing wounds to allow you to live a fully authentic life

Connect to your authentic self

About Me

I am committed to my own transformation and to helping people along their path, whatever that may be. I am frequently described as warm and down-to-earth, and I have learned from my years of experience and my own needs how to create a safe holding container to explore the inner self, ultimately accessing the ability to heal, self-actualize, and live a life with more understanding, compassion, and self-love.

Over the past twenty years, I have spent thousands of hours in formal training to better understand the complexities of healing. I feel fortunate to be working in the field of mental health today, where research continues to give us clinicians valuable tools to help clients make permanent, lasting change in their healing journeys.

My Mission & Values

I operate from the belief that the challenges of life are not here to punish you, but to awaken you. When life circumstances are understood in the larger context of a journey for the soul toward wholeness, then you can consciously use these circumstances as a gateway to your own transformation.

Should you feel drawn to work with me, I will provide a safe and supportive environment to allow your personal process of transformation to unfold. My commitment to you is the presence, integrity, and authenticity born out of my own inner work.
