Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what’s next, you're not alone. Navigating new responsibilities, shifting relationships, and big life decisions can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and a sense of feeling lost. I'm here to support you through these transitions by helping you reconnect with yourself and what matters most. I use an embodied approach that explores how emotions live in the body and how that awareness can create space for healing, regulation, and deeper self-understanding.
