Shed Shame. Rediscover Authenticity. Come Home to Yourself.

I know that:

Overwhelmed woman holding her hands to her face, expressing distress and emotional fatigue. Represents the impact of trauma and the healing journey through trauma therapy.
  • It feels like your past is still controlling you, and you don’t know how to break free.

  • You feel physically tense all the time—your chest is tight, your stomach hurts, and you can’t catch your breath.

  • It’s exhausting trying to keep up with everything, and no matter what you do, it still never feels like you’re doing enough.

  • You don’t know how to trust yourself to make decisions without someone else’s input.

  • You get overwhelmed easily, and when that happens, you just shut down.

  • You have a hard time saying no to people because you were always taught that “being good” meant you had to put others first.

  • It feels like everyone else got a guidebook for life, and you missed the memo.

You are not alone! I’ve been there too.

I am here to help you believe that:

Joyful woman feeling relief from attending trauma therapy.
  • You can heal from your past experiences and regain control over your life.

  • You can listen to your body’s cues, and tend to your anxiety, finding relief from the physical distress.

  • You are already enough, and can find your inherent worth outside of what you do or produce.

  • You can trust your intuition and instincts again.

  • You can manage your overwhelm, and it does not have to take over your life.

  • Putting yourself first is not selfish, and you can set boundaries that allow you to take care of yourself.

  • It is never too late to explore your identity, and live more confidently as your true and authentic self.

You deserve to heal. Let me help!
