My ideal client is someone who keeps wondering, “Why do I keep doing this to myself?” You might find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, putting everyone else first, or jumping into situations you know will drain your energy. Maybe you’re stuck in a loop of people-pleasing, overwhelm, burnout, and self-doubt. You’re tired of feeling like you’re falling short in a world that expects perfection. Deep down, you just want to feel confident, grounded, and able to take up space without guilt. You want to stop repeating the same patterns and finally feel like you’re living life on your terms.

I love working with children (and their families!) struggling with issues like behavioral problems, divorce, or other changing family dynamics. A great deal of my work is also with trauma; whether that's issues of PTSD, childhood trauma, domestic violence issues and more. I enjoy seeing people overcome struggles with depression, anxiety, grief and stress! I also work extensively with LGBTQIA+ issues, and am trauma informed and kink aware.

I believe we desire and deserve to live lives full of connection, purpose, fulfillment and love. This means feeling worthy from within and engaging in healthy, supportive relationships. Our self-doubt, critical voice, feeling not good enough and unhealthy relationships all get in the way of achieving this. I feel many of our current struggles are rooted in childhood stemming from our early attachments and the roles we have fallen into. To heal from within involves not only becoming aware of our unconscious attachment patterns but also courageously facing underlying emotions uncovered via the safe, vital therapeutic relationship.
