Take a Step: Personal support for more intentional living
I offer trauma-informed, non-judgmental support and spaces for people navigating stress, relationships, identity, sexuality, and life transitions — especially those living with chronic stress, nontraditional relationship structures, or identity complexity.
I believe that people are inherently creative, resourceful, and whole. I approach my work holistically, recognizing the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, social, physical, sexual, and spiritual well-being.
Appointments are by request only. Take A Step is currently operating at limited capacity. I’m not actively seeking new clients, and availability is not guaranteed.
My Mission
My mission at Take A Step is to empower individuals to embrace authenticity, resilience, and connection.

I am committed to inspiring authenticity, creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience in individuals while supporting their self-efficacy through positive accountability.
