If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or reacting in ways you don't fully understand, you're not alone. Many of my clients are dealing with anxiety, trauma (including CPTSD), OCD, depression, or relationship and attachment struggles, often rooted in unresolved childhood wounds. My approach is practical, insight-oriented, and focused on helping you actually feel different—not just understand things intellectually.
I specialize in trauma, emotional flashbacks, attachment patterns, CPTSD, and OCD, especially for people who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles. Together, we'll work to understand your triggers, shift long-standing patterns, build a stronger sense of stability, self-trust, and emotional regulation.
If you're ready to start gaining insight and shifting patterns, I'd be glad to connect and see if we are a good fit.
