You’re not where you were and that’s something to be proud of. Yet there’s still so much you’re holding on to. You’ve tried moving on, only to have the smallest thing serve as a reminder that nothing is safe and no one can be fully trusted. There are days when you feel okay. Then a slight interaction derails your whole day. Your mind races and your body feels like it’s not your own. Disconnecting from your thoughts and feelings has only gotten you so far, and you know it’s time to finally take the next step. I can help you feel less overwhelmed, recover from past trauma, and feel more present in your daily life.

As a relationship expert, I will guide you toward healing your relational wounds; to step into the self-actualized, meaningful, joyful life you dream of.

When we understand our protective strategies we can then update our narratives, unburden our traumatized parts, heal attachment wounds, and make room to relate through our highest self. We can learn new skills in communication, somatic regulation, mindfulness, self-awareness, and more fully build the life which best serves our continual growth.
