Maybe you feel caught in patterns of self-doubt or stuckness, unsure how to create change despite your best efforts. Past experiences—like unexpected challenges, relationship wounds, or unmet needs—may still echo in the present, impacting the way you view yourself and make meaning. Emotions may feel heavy or overwhelming, met with self-criticism rather than care, leaving you feeling isolated or disconnected from yourself and others.
My approach draws from complementary theories to honor the whole of who you are. We may use attachment-focused exploration to understand how past relationships shape current patterns, somatic practices to connect more deeply with your body’s emotional wisdom, or existential reflection to explore meaning and values.
I deeply enjoy supporting women, ADHDers, LGBTQIA+ folks, and those for whom these identities overlap. Together, we will co-create a space where you feel seen, heard, and welcome to step into the fullest version of yourself.
