Whether you’re navigating a breakup, in the midst of the dating world, trying to make friends in a new city, or you’re 10 years into your relationship- you’re feeling anxious and confused about why you keep ending up in the same patterns with people you love. You are aware your anxiety can make you question yourself, but you aren’t sure how to stop it. You might be having trouble sleeping, having gastrointestinal issues, or numbing yourself with busyness. You are highly attuned to anticipate others’ needs, but that often comes at your expense, and you want to increase your intuition to know whether someone is safe and trustworthy.

I help clients see that change and growth are an inside job. When people feel unhappy they often look to other people, career, money and substances to make them feel better. This doesn't work long-term and only creates dependencies that harm them. For many, struggles are rooted in childhood experiences with less than ideal parenting and attachment patterns. Helping my clients to resolve and move past family of origin wounds, identify and eliminate destructive beliefs from their childhood and the behavior created from these beliefs, allows clients the ability to embrace their own lives and opens the door into joy & personal freedom.

Hey Survivor, looking for a space where you can finally be vulnerable and imperfect enough to heal yourself and/or your relationship?
You (likely) identify as a woman. You grew up in a chaotic and traumatic household, and statically you experienced sexual violence before the age of 18. From a young age you started picking up slack, taking care of others, becoming your own parent. You learned to keep yourself safe by being what other people need, smoothing things over, ignoring your intuition. Likely you left home early, which left you vulnerable to your first serious relationship with someone much older and unsafe/unhealthy.
