What if you could make your life the way you want it to be? Would you like to overcome loneliness, self-doubt, anxiety, fear of failure, hopelessness, relationship difficulties?

I work with individuals, married/couples. I believe that everyone grows from their strengths. Some people who experience trauma develop unhealthy coping behaviors, such as addictions or dependent relationships. Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be the source of insight and healing.

While I may have a waitlist, please don't hesitate to reach out! I hold high value in your journey and acknowledge that healing isn’t linear.

Together, we will unpack intergenerational legacies passed through family that impact intimacy, closeness, and how you relate to those around you.
