Are your emotions causing you problems?
Emotional distress. Inner turmoil. Pain.
Feeling bad. All. The. Time.
Is this you?
Confusion. Worry. Guilt. Sadness. Loneliness. Insecurity. Irritability. Impatience. Numbness.
Do you overreact to small things? Overthink everything?
Do you feel stressed out or pissed off? Overwhelmed or lost? Abandoned or rejected? Uneasy or resentful? Dissatisfied or restless?
How about not good enough?
Exhausted?
Broken?
Chronic emotional pain shows up in your life in so many ways.
As relationship problems. Lack of motivation. Going through the motions. Feeling stuck.
As unfulfilled potential. Trying to control people and situations. Job-hopping. Fear. Low self-esteem.
Numbing out with drinking or drugs. Or TV or TikTok or Instagram or video games. Shopping too much. Obsessing about your appearance. Judging others. Trying to keep everybody happy. Holding grudges.
Should I go on?

Are you ready to not live like this anymore?
I can help with
01
Figuring out who you are and what you want
Work with me to discover your authentic self, understand your patterns, feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin, accept yourself as you really are (faults and all!), and embrace your true value and worth. You will learn to trust your gut, use your voice, achieve inner security and safety, and accept your own experience as real and valid.
02
Feeling calm and in control of your emotions
I can help you face and heal your past, stop comparing yourself to others, let go of what you “should” do and what other people think, and make sense of your desires and reactions. You will develop the ability to stop worrying, overcome depression, live with purpose and passion, and create a life that feels not simply manageable but full of contentment and joy.
03
Becoming connected and close to others
Together we will untangle your relationship patterns and clarify what you really deserve, empowering you to make choices based on your own values and priorities and get your needs met. In your closest relationships, you will learn to communicate more effectively, manage conflict constructively, and create boundaries that keep you connected to the people you love while protecting yourself from hurt and guilt.
04
Growing into someone who is audacious and true
An audacious person is brave, assertive, strong, confident, positive, free, decisive, and self-directed.
Being true means you are genuine, dependable, honest, authentic, stable, and secure.
I believe that, deep down, each of us naturally embodies both of these qualities. Life—through the destructive messages we internalized from others and the hurtful experiences we endured—has muted, submerged, and tarnished them. I will help you clear out the negative, reconnect with your authentic self, and recover your power to live as an audacious and true person.
