Hello, friend.

We live in a wild time. We are more connected than ever, but vastly more alone. I am eager to encourage you that you are not alone. And, in fact, the transitional experiences you have in life that feel rocky are normal, survivable - and can even be the launching pad for you to find a better way of being.

On my journey, I have learned many tools and gained much knowledge that has led to my healing. And healing for me means healing for you. My heart burns to share what I have learned with others and to see more people find connection, self-compassion, emotional regulation and freedom from rigid thinking.
