Do you spend too much time rethinking about the past while feeling anger, shame, sadness, confusion, and guilt? Maybe you were raised by emotionally immature parents, struggle to set boundaries, find yourself in painful codependent relationships, and feel responsible for others’ emotions. You’re always in fight-flight-freeze, and can't break the patterns that keep you stuck. It's infuriating to intellectually know what to do, and not be able to DO it (for long). Your brain is in overdrive and you're stuck in "freeze", numbing out with wine, weed, social media, alcohol, or anything that works

Are you a smart, driven, career-focused, empathic woman who just feels stuck? Nobody sees your high-functioning anxiety; they would never suspect your inner struggle. But your brain is relentless, your inner critic picks apart your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you don't believe it. You wonder if you are depressed, maybe you have ADHD...everything feels like a chore, and life isn't FUN anymore. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how

You know well the feeling of being "stuck" - stuck in your life, career, relationship. The main problem is, the longer you put things off, the more you get that nagging feeling that you've got to do something. I've been there. The first important way to get yourself out of this space is to imagine life when your problems are gone. You can imagine it now.

Are you someone who struggles to balance between work and life responsibilities, feel the pressure of the world and your responsibilities on you, navigating through environments not having been seen or heard? If this is you, you have come to the right place. Whether your goals are to dedicate time for taking care of you, healthier coping tools and a place where you just want answers.

This is a space for you to gain re-ownership of your journey and captain of what you want that path to be.

Trauma changes you, but it does not have to define you. It is a chapter in your story, but it does not have to be your entire story. With over 12 years of experience working with survivors of childhood abuse, sexual violence, and emotional neglect, I understand the complexity and depth of the pain you may carry. Sometimes that pain manifests itself as complex PTSD and/or dissociation, leading to feelings of helplessness or hopelessness. Although healing from trauma can feel like an overwhelming journey, you don’t have to walk that path alone.

Does this sound like you? You're a highly sensitive person and or empath. Maybe you're the Type A, overachieving type who has a hard time truly saying what you mean or setting boundaries with the people in your life. You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" - maybe you've even been to therapy before. For you, maybe it shows up as anxiety or ADHD, maybe it's a difficult relationship with your mom or dad, a history of childhood trauma, difficulty breaking bad habits, workplace stress/burnout, procrastination, difficulty in your romantic relationship, or a sense of worthlessness you just can't seem to heal

Looking for some support? It can be daunting to try to find a therapist you can really connect to. Let me help you make that a little easier with a few questions. Do you tend to put yourself last, have feelings of not being good enough, or that there is something wrong with you? Do you struggle to be able to relax, feeling guilty unless you are being productive 24/7? Are you able to be self compassionate or is compassion only for other people? The beliefs we have about ourselves and others are based on what we experienced as children. Childhood is where we learn the "rules" of how we are supposed to live our lives.

Do you feel like you're always saying yes when you want to say no, replaying every conversation in your head, heart pounding over things that shouldn't feel this big? Maybe you grew up disappearing at the sound of footsteps, always scanning, bracing, reading the room before you could read words. Now you're the reliable one overachieving, overfunctioning, trying to prevent disaster before it hits. You’ve done the apps, the books, the deep breaths, the cold plunges, maybe a few glasses of wine to quiet the noise. But inside, you're frozen. Longing for something you’ve never fully had: a nervous system that feels safe and like home

Are you an overachieving, people-pleasing human who has a hard time saying no, tends to overwork, is secretly riddled with anxiety, has a challenging relationship with your parents, has difficulty setting and maintaining boundaries, and feel like you're riding a roller coaster of big emotions? Like the Type-A person that you are, you've tried all the things to feel better: self-help, exercise, yoga, meditation, healthy eating, new planners, podcasts...but you're still stuck. You thought it was a phase, but now it's starting to affect your relationships, and you're finally feeling ready - and willing - to make a real change.
