Do your relationships feel toxic, one-sided, or like you’re always settling for less than you deserve? If you’ve experienced attachment trauma, abandonment, or narcissistic abuse, these patterns aren’t random - you were conditioned for them. Whether in your family, relationships, or a society that thrives on disconnection, the wounds run deep. But healing is possible. You are not broken. You are not too much. You are worthy of love, safety, and connection. I help clients break free from toxic cycles, build boundaries, regulate emotions, and trust themselves again—so they can create the relationships and life they truly deserve.
