Relational Trauma / People Pleasing / Emotion Dysregulation / Self-Criticism / Anxiety. I believe that every human has the innate capacity to heal. I am here to help carry the weight of what you’re holding so that whatever you’re facing can feel a little more bearable.
I help people work through difficult emotions, heal from past experiences, and feel more like themselves again. In a safe and supportive space, we explore what’s going on beneath the surface to help you find relief and reconnect with your authentic self.
I am so glad you stumbled upon my page! I look forward to meeting you and helping you move towards a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling. I offer a free 15-minute consultation via video where you can ask me questions, learn more about my approach, and to see if we would be a good match to work together.

I use an integrative approach combining AEDP, IFS-informed therapy, and experiential practices to promote healing and emotional growth. AEDP fosters deep emotional connection and attachment repair, while IFS helps explore and integrate different parts of the self. Experiential techniques deepen awareness and encourage transformative emotional processing for lasting change.
