Approach

Respecting what you've lived, I move with curiosity and clarity to map the patterns that make daily life harder and find manageable entry points for change. In Burlington and via secure online sessions in English, I keep meetings practical and paced—brief check-ins, focused skill practice, and room to process trauma when it feels safe. I blend reflective exploration with structured techniques tailored to attention, stress, and attachment patterns, and collaborate on small experiments between sessions so progress endures. This steady, practical rhythm often fits people juggling identity, caregiving, or chronic overwhelm.
