I believe that holding space for healing is connected to my divine purpose. Growing up, I spent many moments with my mom gazing at the moon as it illuminated the lake—a place filled with memories. The moon became my teacher, offering me the most important lesson I’ve come to know: it is in the darkness where we often find the most profound beauty and light. I’ve carried this lesson with me throughout my life, continually learning how even in my most challenging and painful times, there is always the potential for healing and growth.

As human beings, we all carry patterns—some of which support our wellbeing and others that no longer serve us. These patterns can become deeply ingrained, leading us into cycles of addiction, anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles. These patterns are often the psyche's attempts to protect us from unhealed wounds, many of which have been buried, avoided, or numbed over time. But I know from my own journey, and from walking alongside countless others, that facing these wounds is the key to healing.

The word “psyche” comes from ancient Greek, meaning both "soul" and "butterfly," with the butterfly symbolizing the transformation of the soul. From this root, we get the word “psychology,” which is deeply connected to the process of change—the image of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. In my work as a therapist, I guide you through your own metamorphosis. Together, we will navigate the shedding of old layers and emerge from the darkness of the cocoon. It is through this release that you can reclaim your power and rediscover the inner light that has always been within you.

I believe that one of the most powerful tools for healing is the creation of secure attachment within the therapeutic relationship.Sometimes, the first person who truly shows you unconditional love and kindness is a therapist. From my own experience, I have witnessed how profound healing can be when we allow ourselves to be truly seen by another. My role is to hold that space for you—gently confronting you when necessary, but always with love and consistency. This is the essence of secure attachment and the emotional corrective experience that facilitates growth. It’s within this compassionate space that you can experience what healthy, nurturing love feels like—and eventually, learn to offer that same love to yourself.

I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey, to support you in shedding old layers, and to help you step into a version of yourself that is whole, healed, and free.
