Hello.

I specialize in helping people who feel stuck—whether in their relationships, careers, or inner worlds. Many of my clients struggle with complex emotions, feeling like outsiders, or navigating existential questions about purpose and belonging.

I offer a compassionate and reflective space for individuals recovering from trauma, healing from burnout, or grappling with the pressure of perfectionism. My approach is informed by both professional expertise and lived experience, creating a supportive environment to help you uncover what truly matters and build deeper connections with yourself and others
