What I Believe
You Are Not Broken Despite what you've been through, you are not damaged goods needing to be fixed. You are a capable person whose nervous system developed protective patterns that once served you but may no longer fit who you're becoming.

What I Believe
You Are Not Broken Despite what you've been through, you are not damaged goods needing to be fixed. You are a capable person whose nervous system developed protective patterns that once served you but may no longer fit who you're becoming.
Your Struggles Have Purpose The challenges you've faced have given you unique wisdom and strength. My role is to help you recognize these gifts and use them to create meaning and help others.
Healing Requires Both Support and Self-Reliance While community and connection are essential, ultimate healing comes from developing an unshakeable relationship with yourself. I help you build both.
Transformation Is Possible at Any Age I rebuilt my life at 42. You can transform your life at any stage, regardless of how stuck you feel right now.
Independence and Relationships Aren't Opposites True independence allows you to choose relationships from desire rather than need, creating healthier connections with others.
