For Individuals
How I Can Help You
Rebuilding Self-Worth
You may be used to performing, people-pleasing, or holding it all together—but inside, you feel not good enough, unworthy, or unseen. Therapy is a space to rewrite these old narratives and reconnect with your value.
Healing Emotional Wounds
Whether from childhood or past relationships, unprocessed hurt can shape how you show up in the world. We’ll explore your emotional injuries with compassion and help you shift from coping to healing.
Attachment and Identity Work
I help clients understand how their early attachment experiences affect their current relationships, self-esteem, and sense of identity. This is deep work—but it can change how you relate to everything and everyone.
Therapy for Insightful, Growth-Minded Adults
You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of my clients are introspective, thoughtful adults who are ready to deepen their emotional intelligence and live more aligned, connected lives.
Overwhelm, Anxiety, and Emotional Exhaustion
When you’re always the strong one, it’s easy to lose touch with your own needs. Together, we’ll create space to slow down, process your emotions, and reconnect with your inner calm.
