Helping find peace, self-love, connection, and control in life again.

Life’s challenges can feel dark, heavy, or even impossible to deal with.

​

Most people who start therapy with me feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns.

Perhaps you can relate; maybe you don’t look forward to much or you feel like life is out of control.

 

Do you struggle with numbness, emptiness, feeling defeated?

 

Do any of the following resonate with you?

​

• You feel as if your emotions are a rollercoaster, with sharp twists and turns that can come at any moment.

• You feel lonely and disconnected, even when you are with others.

• You find yourself reacting and behaving in ways for which you later feel regret, shame, and discouragement.

• You have long felt like you just can't get it right, there must be something wrong with, or weird about, you and maybe you're not deserving of something better.

​

If these sound true for you, I want you to know that even though you might feel like a failure or broken for needing help, that couldn’t be further from the truth. It takes courage to become aware about what you are going through and ask for help.

​

Even if you don’t believe you deserve care, you do. You deserve to receive care and the support to connect with your inner strengths, security and confidence that may still lie undiscovered.

Therapy for self-esteem, relationship struggles & childhood trauma can help you live a more fulfilled life.

 

It’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could…

​

• Feel deep and stable connections in your life with friends, romantic partners, and family.

• Improve your relationship with yourself and those you choose to share yourself with.

• Feel more sense of control in your life, emotional world, and relationships.

• Grab onto your emotional steering wheel and direct your emotions in the way you'd like them to flow.

• Have confidence in your understanding of your relationships and your capacity to relate to others in a way that brings relational security, stability, and fulfilling depth.

• Believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, and that you are just as worthy, special, and deserving as anyone else.

• Create a more meaningful life based on who you are and what you desire.

• Get to the root problems and solve those instead of using band-aids.

• Have the loving relationships you’ve always wanted.
