If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression, quick to anger, or frustrated in your relationships — you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with feel like something just isn’t working, but they can’t quite explain why. Often, these struggles come from early experiences where emotions were ignored, dismissed, or too much for the adults around us to handle. As children, we learn fast: if expressing emotions doesn’t feel safe or accepted, we push them down. Over time, that emotional disconnection can turn into anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or anger that feels hard to control. My work focuses on helping you understand where these patterns come from and how to shift them. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t quiet down, depression that feels heavy, anger that shows up too fast, or relationship challenges that keep repeating — we’ll work together to untangle the deeper story and build healthier ways of coping, connecting, and feeling. This isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been shut down for too long.

I was once told "the happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts". Since then, I have become a firm believer that we are ultimately the author and master of our own life's story. Have difficult relationships, grief, trauma, world events, family dynamics, or even daily life stressors made you feel otherwise? Let me help you find the narrative threads that will assist you in reweaving the fabric of your life.

I create a very safe and supportive presence for my clients; this enables individuals to be vulnerable, while learning how their behavioral patterns have continually been re-created from childhood. Inner child work unlocks the key to self compassion, self acceptance, and self love. The winding road to maintaining self love is lifelong and I would be honored to take this journey with you.
