You give so much to others but still feel unseen, unheard, or unfulfilled in your relationships. You worry you’re too much—or not enough. Maybe you say yes when you want to say no or feel guilty setting boundaries. You long for deeper, more mutual connections but aren’t sure how to break old patterns. It’s exhausting to question your worth and wonder if things will ever change. You deserve relationships where you feel valued, understood, and secure. Change is possible, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Let’s uncover and remove the barriers holding you back. We’ll uncover patterns that no longer serve you and deepen your understanding of yourself—your needs, values, and what truly fulfills you. Together, we’ll get you unstuck so you can build relationships that feel supportive, mutual, and meaningful—starting with the one you have with yourself.
The poet Rumi said it best: "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." I help you identify and heal the barriers within. It's time to get free—find meaning in life, know your purpose, change negative patterns, and love who you are. Let's get started!
