Feeling stuck in cycles of shame and control? Together we can explore pathways to understanding and self-acceptance.
Maybe you’ve spent years trying to manage the pain on your own pushing through, shutting it down, or keeping it hidden. On the outside, you might seem like you have it all together. But inside, it can feel chaotic, exhausting, or numb. You might be using food, routines, or control to try to feel okay and still feel like it’s never enough.
You’re not broken. These patterns often began as ways to cope, especially when things felt unsafe, overwhelming, or out of your control.

When we struggle, it often feels like we're stuck in cycles, reacting in ways we don't want, feeling drained, or like it's never enough. What's happening isn't about our external circumstances, but rather, our relationship with ourselves. How we speak to ourselves in tough moments, push down our needs, or keep going even when running on empty. I’m here to help you reconnect with your sense of agency - building self-trust, leaning intro vulnerability and embracing authenticity. Agency helps you break free from familiar and entrenched patterns and allows you to navigate life with more clarity and vitality.
