Rooted in evidence-based care and integrative wellness, I empower individuals to embrace their journey from shadow to light. Healing is a courageous act—one of uncovering the self, honoring the parts you’ve buried, numbed, or masked, and transforming them into guides for growth.
Just as a tree begins as a seed, pushing through darkness toward the sun, your story holds the potential for renewal. With compassionate guidance, I help you navigate compacted emotional soil to uncover clarity, wholeness, and the wisdom that blooms from stillness.
I want to honor the Native and Indigenous peoples—especially my ancestors from the Abenaki Tribe of Odanak. Thank you for continuously guiding me on this journey.
I acknowledge that we live and work on stolen land, and I offer deep respect and gratitude to the original peoples who lived in sacred relationship with Mother Earth and the Great Spirit. Their ways embody a wisdom we are called to remember, respect, and uphold.
With humility and reverence, I offer homage and prayer to the ancestors who came before. May we continue to listen, learn, and act in ways that honor their legacy.
