How do you say no to yourself? Can you? Or the opposite, how do you say yes, allowing yourself to experience your own enthusiasm and excitement? Are you struggling with boundaries—with people, substances, or boundaries with your own internal self talk? You might be wondering what to reject, what to choose, or what thoughts to give more or less attention to. I understand the pressures that come with simply being —the discomfort, the uncertainty, and the struggle to trust your own experience, your own mind. The mind and body are deeply interconnected, and I help clients bridge that gap, offering a practical way to heal.

You feel soul-tired from carrying losses no one seems to fully see—grief, illness, disconnection, the weight of a thousand unspoken goodbyes. You’ve been told to stay positive, to pull yourself up, to keep going, but inside you feel drained, lonely, and unsure where you belong—not in your body, your culture, or even your community. Crowds, noise, and others’ emotions overwhelm your nervous system, leaving you raw, overstimulated, and exhausted. More than anything, you long for genuine connection, deep rest, and a space where your pain and complexity aren’t “too much,” but honored and embraced.

Though I work with most issues, I specialize in helping people recover from complex trauma. People with narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful parents or partners sometimes develop issues with trusting themselves, have difficulty maintaining close relationships, struggle with an inner critic, vacillate often between depression and anxiety, lack a solid sense of identity, or feel a sense of emptiness when their lives seem great on paper. Sometimes that trauma can even become part of one's identity - I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, and acceptance to free themselves from it & live more fulfilling lives.
