About me
hello and Thank you for visiting my page. You work hard, strive to hold everything together, yet find yourself stuck in the same painful patterns—misunderstood in relationships, overwhelmed by stress, and exhausted by the pressure to always “get it right.” You may feel alone, disconnected, and unhappy in your relationship, unsure how to express what you need or how to be heard. Deep down, you may carry beliefs formed in childhood—shaped by emotional neglect or criticism—that whisper your feelings don’t matter, or love must be earned. You know that you need a professional help.
In my work, I help clients break free from these patterns and build healthier ways of communicating and connecting. Through compassionate, trauma-informed therapy, we explore how early wounds shape present-day struggles—and begin the work of healing. Change is possible—not by doing more, but by learning to listen inward, speak your truth, and finally feel safe, seen, and understood.
