Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped by past trauma? Are negative thoughts or self-doubt preventing you from living the life you want? It can feel exhausting to confront painful emotions or memories, and even harder to move forward when you’re stuck in a constant state of fight-or-flight. Many of us turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, which can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. I understand how difficult it can be to face these challenges alone, but I’m here to help guide you through the healing process.

Life can be challenging at times, you may struggle with inner conflict, uncertainty, and confusion as to what step you should take next in life. To make lasting changes within yourself, to attain your lifelong goals & dreams.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when challenges seem to define us, and many of us have been called 'too sensitive' or 'too emotional,' yet I see these as strengths. But the truth is, those challenges are just one part of your life—they don't define who you are. I'm here to remind you of that.
