Mission

“We journey together through seasons of stillness and growth—tending to the unseen, and welcoming the light.”

My mission is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity. Supporting and validating your lived experiences while gently illuminating the patterns shaped by your past. Together, we’ll explore how those experiences influence your present and future, clarify what truly matters to you, and help you move forward with intention and authenticity. Through this process, I aim to create space for deeper self-awareness, healing, and lasting change.

Goals

“Illuminating the spaces within, where healing takes root.”

My goal is to support individuals who feel stuck—those yearning for movement, clarity, and change. Rather than focusing on a diagnosis alone, I hold space for the whole person: your story, your struggles, your strengths, and the quiet parts of you still waiting to be heard.

Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with curiosity and care. In doing so, we’ll begin to recognize patterns that no longer serve you and gently shift toward more aligned, empowered ways of being. This is a collaborative journey—and I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward the life you want to live.

The Process

TUning in

Before we can move, we must notice. We begin by tuning in—with honesty and curiosity—to the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that shape your experience. This is the first light we shine inward.

Empathy

True healing begins with being seen. In every season—whether you’re blooming or in a period of quiet—I offer presence, attunement, and care. Empathy lights the way forward when things feel dark.

Alignment

Our work is collaborative. We build a therapeutic relationship grounded in safety, trust, and shared goals. As we align, we create space for insight, self-compassion, and authentic growth.

Movement

Together, we engage in evidence-based methods that support meaningful change. Whether you're in a season of stillness or taking steps toward transformation, our focus remains on progress that honors your rhythm.

History

From childhood through adulthood, life’s demands often dim our connection to ourselves and the world around us. At Illumination MFT, I believe in creating space to pause—to step into the light of awareness and look closely at the patterns that shape us. It’s in this light that clarity emerges. When we allow ourselves room to reflect, explore, and be curious, we begin to uncover truths that were once hidden in shadow. And from that place of insight, we can make intentional decisions and begin to shift.

Healing, like nature, moves in seasons. There are times of brightness and growth, and there are quiet seasons—when not much seems to be happening on the surface. But even in dormancy, change is present. Sometimes, the seeds of transformation are simply conserving energy, waiting for the right conditions to bloom. Illumination honors all of it: the stillness, the movement, the cycles of light and dark that shape our inner landscapes.

I founded Illumination MFT out of deep gratitude for each person I’ve had the privilege to walk alongside. I’ve been invited into their stories and trusted to witness both their pain and their power. Together, we’ve built tools, confronted trauma, and planted seeds of healing. It’s an honor to be part of these journeys toward light—and I hope to be part of yours.
