She helps people with a variety of mental health issues including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationships, disordered eating, low self-esteem, and more.
Her personal journey with mental health began early in life, shaped by her own struggles and her discovery of mindfulness and art-based therapies, which played a crucial role in her healing. Being diagnosed as neurodivergent as an adult further deepened her understanding of herself, mental health and her ability to support clients with diverse needs.
At the heart of their philosophy is a belief in everyone’s capacity for growth and healing. They emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and healing shame as foundational steps toward mental and emotional well-being.
