Break the Patterns. Reclaim Your Peace. Do you constantly feel like an impostor, even when you succeed? Are you exhausted from people-pleasing, overcommitting, and ignoring your own boundaries? Whether you are navigating a major life transition—like starting college, ending a relationship, or getting married—or trying to build deeper self-trust, you do not have to walk this path alone. I help individuals break old cycles, heal past wounds, and learn to love themselves in healthier ways.
My areas of focus include: • Trauma Recovery (CPT): Processing past wounds to escape survival mode. • CBT: Rewriting negative thought loops driving imposter syndrome. • Somatic Therapy: Releasing the physical stress people-pleasing leaves in your body • Mindfulness & Spirituality: Building daily practices to strengthen self-trust and align your principles.
Your desire for change is proof that your soul is ready to heal. Let's build a safe, grounding space to honor your journey, release what no longer serves you, and reclaim your inner peace. You don't have to navigate these transitions alone. When you are ready to choose yourself, click the 'Book Now' button to claim your session and take the first step!

My style of therapy includes not only talk therapy, but the use of reinforcement strategies (i.e. journal prompts, worksheets, videos, creative art, reading material) to assist with processing and reinforcing of new behaviors and coping skills learned.
