If you suffer from feelings of inadequacy, loneliness or identity issues, there could be a deeper root. Depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, the pressure to meet others' expectations while neglecting your own needs, all could stem from past trauma. Complex trauma, familial or systemic, can cause internalized guilt, shame and self-abandonment. This can look like feeling resentful, reactive, avoidant, hopeless or shut down. However, you are not doomed to stay stuck there. Healing is possible, and can pave the way for a life freer from negative thoughts, with more peace, self-acceptance, authenticity and improved relationships.

My practice is focused on helping you from the moment you realize that the ways you have been getting by seem to be causing more distress than relief. You may be noticing imbalance in your relationships, that you are putting off life changes and goals until you feel "good enough", or you might have a lot of fear of things feeling chaotic or not in control. While I address a broad range of concerns, a lot of the people I work with are struggling in particular with patterns around food, dieting, and body image that have left them feeling exhausted, defeated, and out of control.
