Do you find yourself doom-scrolling at 2 AM because your brain won't shut up about that conversation from three days ago? Maybe your self-care includes ugly crying in the Target parking lot and stress-buying candles you'll never light. You say yes when your plate is already overflowing because disappointing others feels scarier than your own burnout. You're exhausted from being the friend who always has it together when, honestly, you're just really good at pretending everything's fine. Connection sounds amazing in theory, but actually being vulnerable? Hard pass. But that mask you've been wearing... isn't it starting to feel heavy?
Tired of therapy that feels like small talk? With me, it's real, practical, and judgment-free. I bring warmth, humor, and science-backed tools like somatic work, parts work, and hypnotherapy. Together, we'll get to the root of what's keeping you stuck. We'll learn to calm your nervous system, helping you feel safe, connected, and confident in your own skin.
Let’s quiet the chaos, calm the self-doubt, and help you feel like yourself again. The version who trusts their gut and finally stops bracing for disaster. Together, we’ll break the cycle of abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable and start creating a life you actually want. Reaching out can be hard, but if this resonates, I’d love to connect.
