This is not the life you wanted. You are not the person you hoped to become. Your choices and decisions prevent any relief from the constant, nagging anxiety that disrupts your sleep and impacts your health. It may be that the damage of a difficult upbringing is still causing sustained harm to your present relationships, and your all-important sense of self. But whatever the root cause of your suffering, it's always so much harder to overcome alone. I'm here to support you in that struggle as we work to understand and address your unhappiness in a safe, constructive, trauma-informed space.

I help adults who feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns and find themselves asking, “Why does this keep happening?” They may struggle with closeness, boundaries, conflict, or feeling unseen in their relationships. Often, these challenges are rooted in attachment wounds that continue to shape how they connect today. Together, we uncover what’s underneath, so they can respond with clarity, build healthier relationships, and feel more secure in how they relate to others.
