When you need someone to talk to…

I’m here for you

In a world of quick texts and constant noise, it’s hard to find a space where you can speak freely. Friends and family care, but they’re busy—and often bring their own perspectives. Sometimes you just want to share your day, vent about work, or tell a story without interruption, judgment, or bias.

That’s where I come in.

I offer intentional, human listening—no fixing, no filtering, just presence. A space where your voice matters, and you can sort through your thoughts in your own way, at your own pace. Confidentiality is important to me too.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and Business Administration, a Master’s Degree in Psychology and a Graduate Certificate in Life Coaching. I’ve worked in public education, for a non-profit in the behavioral health sector and most recently became a published author.

This service is also ideal for people who don’t like to socialize very much because it contributes to gaining a feeling of comfort and confidence when sharing thoughts. For people with family and/or friend dynamics that make it difficult to speak freely, a service like this is beneficial because it provides someone outside the circle to talk to that contributes to having a safe place to express true thoughts and feelings.

Research shows that brief, positive interactions with people we don’t know can reduce loneliness, decrease anxiety, boost mood, and increase our sense of belonging just as much as time spent with close friends and family.
