About Me

Are you moving through the world as a high achiever, helper, or perfectionist, but privately struggling with anxiety, shame, or emotional numbness? Are you always “fine,” even when you feel like you're drowning? Do you wake up dreading the work day, have difficulty setting boundaries or feel like you are constantly overanalyzing every part of your day? Are you stuck in survival mode after living with narcissistic abuse as a child or in your current relationship? Do you struggle to manage your anger and often feel like you're the "crazy" one? You are not alone and you deserve to find peace and true purpose. I specialize in working with adults (18+) who appear successful on the outside but carry the invisible wounds of complex trauma, emotional neglect, or early attachment ruptures. You may be someone who’s capable, thoughtful, and aware—but feels stuck in patterns of self-criticism, doubt, unstable emotions, or people-pleasing. You’re not broken! Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your distress to help you reclaim your inner peace, regulate your nervous system, and create healthy relationships. I offer a safe, collaborative space for you to learn how to manage your feelings, find your voice and heal from the past.
