Description
Welcome! I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate challenges and rediscover balance. My approach blends compassion, collaboration, and connection—to self, others, and nature.

I am inspired by the natural world as well as the humanities and creative pursuits, which now inform my work. Together, we’ll create a supportive space for growth, healing, and meaningful change. Let’s connect and explore the path to your well-being.
