FAQ
Did you know?
Family is at the heart of who I am. The relationships that bring joy and challenge us often hold the keys to healing, teaching compassion and patience
Authenticity matters deeply. Healing begins when we feel safe to be real, and I bring the same honesty and openness I ask of my clients.
To me, peace isn’t the absence of struggle — it’s staying present and grounded, even amid life’s uncertainties.
My intention is to add meaning to the world — through understanding, kindness, and presence, creating ripples of healing.
These values guide how I live — in family moments, mindful pauses, and simple joys — reflecting alignment, purpose, and peace.
