It’s more than fear of the white coat, the hospital room, or certain procedures. The anxiety, flashbacks, and fear of the unknown are overwhelming and exhausting. When you talk to your doctor or therapist for help, you leave feeling more confused and dismissed. What you’re experiencing is very real. In 2003 my spinal cord was punctured during an epidural procedure, leading to chronic pain. Several years later I suffered from strokes - some small, one big. When the ambulance came, they were convinced I was drunk. Except there was one big problem with their theory: I don't drink. I know what it’s like to be misunderstood.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, people-pleasing and emotion regulation? Do you feel like you’re not quite good enough, you can never actually reach your goals, or you just can’t seem to do “life” right? Maybe you experienced trauma from growing up in a household with emotionally immature parents. Maybe you have late-diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, and chronic feelings of being “defective” loom over you constantly. You need a therapist who will help you actually PROCESS what's going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life, and call you on your shit.

We all confront difficult challenges in life. We all go through times when our deepest fears and insecurities surface and consume our thoughts and actions, while our strengths and values fade out of focus and out of reach. We may be flooded with unwanted and worrisome thoughts; experience intense negative emotions; feel lonely and isolated from others, become increasingly unmotivated and unproductive; and develop difficulties sleeping, concentrating, and finding fulfillment in life. If you are going through a period of suffering, this is part of what makes you human.

You’re highly accomplished and have always pushed yourself to succeed, driven by a strong sense of responsibility and perfectionism. Yet beneath the surface, you often feel anxious, stuck, and unfulfilled. Despite your achievements, there’s a lingering sense that it’s never enough. The pressure to maintain the appearance of having it all together hides deeper struggles with self-worth, unresolved family dynamics, and persistent feelings of anxiety or depression. You long for genuine connection and deeper meaning in your relationships but feel unsure of how to break the cycle of stress and dissatisfaction.

Are you experiencing a period of life transition? Of indecision raising inner tensions? Are you looking to regain energy? Or interested in understanding patterns underlying your life? What if underneath day to day challenges lies an opportunity to understand yourself better? As we go through life, we must adapt to the demands of our environment, sometimes at the expense of our innate nature. This phenomenon may result in developing discomforts (such as anxiety and depression). Exploring the psyche provides an opportunity to re-enter into relation with all the aspects of our psyche, towards harmony with oneself and others.

I know first hand how becoming a parent changes you. For some, experiences of grief, loss and trauma shape our early parenting journey, and we might feel isolated, afraid, or even ashamed about the thoughts and feelings we are having. Parenting standards today encourage us to sacrifice everything for our children, and to do it all with a smile - so we suffer silently. My own struggles in parenting, including my lived reality of grief and traumatic loss bring me to this work - and allow me to deeply connect with other parents who are craving a place to bring all of their parenting experiences - the joyful, and the excruciating.

Feeling grief, disconnection, sadness? Do you feel like you don’t know who you are anymore? Do you show up for others, but do not know how to meet your needs? The grief of losing your sense of self results from going through loss and trauma. One’s identity is comprised of their experiences, relationships, and beliefs/values. When an interruption or loss occurs in any of these areas, it shakes up one’s sense of self, self worth/confidence, and access to emotions of joy, calm, and love. I can support you in re-establishing a connection to self through self-discovery alongside processing the experiences of grief and trauma.
