In a world that repeatedly invalidates sensitivity and vulnerability, it’s not surprising that many of us struggle to feel happy, attain goals and find fulfilling romantic relationships. Some of us turn to substances, while others over function. If we are parents, we may find that we accidently repeat hurtful dynamics with our own...

I believe that we as individuals inherently hold the wisdom of who we are and what we need. As life happens we can forget the powerful beings we innately are and lose our sense of self. Sometimes we may fragment parts of ourselves due to relationships, insecurities, societal expectations, trauma and more. My goal is to create a warm and trusting environment to help you gain insight into why you...

The distractions we all use to keep us from pain do...

I specialize in supporting clients who struggle with feeling connected to themselves and their loved ones, who feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck. Low self-worth/esteem, unresolved pain or relationship issues, guilt, shame, and beliefs that keep you small, can be hard to change on your own.
