About

My clients tend to be the planners: people with contingency lists for their contingency lists, who have thought through every disaster except the possibility that things might turn out fine. I grew up around caregiving, so tending to people never felt like a job choice; it felt like the family trade. Worry, left alone, expands to fill every quiet moment you give it. Heaviness works differently, settling in so slowly that you cannot remember when you started carrying it. Reframing sits at the center of how I work: not forced positivity, but learning to see your situation with more accuracy and more mercy. The relief of an honest new angle is real, and it is repeatable. People tell me the atmosphere in my sessions is calm, and I work to keep it that way. I want you to know that nothing you bring will be too much or too messy for this process. Whenever you are ready, I am here.
