"There is freedom waiting for you, on the breezes of the sky, and you ask 'What if I fall?' Oh but my darling, what if you fly?" — Erin Hanson

Finding your way out of a dark place can feel overwhelming when you're tired of carrying everything or trying coping strategies that don't work anymore. If you've ever felt misunderstood or worn down by pressure to "have it all together," you're not broken; you're human. Trauma can steal safety and innocence, and grieving that loss matters. Maybe you've been told you're "too much," or felt "not enough," or exhausted by the need to perfect or hide because of shame. You don't have to do that here or anywhere else.

In the operating room, the surgeon is the expert; the nurse hands them the tools. In this case, the operating room is your life, you're the surgeon — the expert — and I'm the nurse handing you tools like Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Meaning Reconstruction (MR), and other evidence-based approaches. My experience in psychiatric hospitals and Brené Brown's Daring Way inform my work. Together, we will find what works for you.

Vulnerability is raw courage; it's choosing to fly even though you're afraid you'll fall. As a Daring Way Trained Facilitator, we'll explore it together. I'm not perfect; I call myself a "beautiful mess," and you're welcome to be one here, too. I value honesty and showing up as we are — not as we're "supposed" to be. If you're ready to share your story, I'm ready to listen.

Dami sees adults and couples. She is available with weekday evening slots — in-person and via telehealth.
