Feeling stuck in painful patterns? Maybe you keep repeating the same relationship struggles, battling self-doubt, or feeling like no matter what you do, you're not enough. Anxiety, low self-worth, and emotional exhaustion are taking a toll, and you just want relief. You don’t have to keep living this way. The weight you're carrying—past wounds, self-sabotaging cycles, deep-rooted fears—can be released. Through Inner Child Healing and trauma-informed care, we’ll uncover how your past experiences have shaped your present, and more importantly, how you can break free.

I know the quiet ache of being torn between the past and the future, between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. As a second-generation immigrant, I’ve felt the weight of attachment wounds, emotional turbulence, and the quiet longing for peace. I’ve learned that transformation begins when we allow ourselves to feel and explore what is, without judgment.

I want to hold this space with you, to be your witness as you embark on this journey. I invite you to send me an email with a glimpse of your story, and I will reach out within 1 working day to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call. Let’s see if we’re the right fit to walk this journey together.
