"It is never too late to be what you might have been."

I help individuals, teams, and organizations navigate stress, aging, grief, and life transitions using mindfulness-based, human-centered approaches.

My work is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, grounded in psychology, mindfulness, and real-world experience.

I’ve got you.
