About

I specialize in working with individuals who carry the invisible weight of early relational trauma, often expressed through anxiousness, low self-worth, body image struggles, codependency, and nervous system dysregulation. These patterns are not flaws—they are adaptations that once kept you safe. Together, we’ll explore how these patterns formed and how they’re showing up in your present life. Our work will involve identifying and understanding thoughts, behaviors, and strategies that may no longer serve you, exploring personal identity and values, cultivating self-trust, and accepting the limits and humanity of self and others.

If you find yourself navigating hypervigilance, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or a deep fear of abandonment, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
