What Are You Seeking?

To heal deep shame and stop feeling “too much”

Ways to manage anxiety and overwhelm when conversations or emotions feel intense

To tune into my body and recognize my needs, boundaries, and what feels right for me

Tools to interrupt arguments and emotional chaos before they take over, so I can reconnect more easily

To stop people-pleasing and start showing up authentically in my relationships

To understand what drives my patterns and responses.

Fear of judgment often leads us to silence our true selves, creating disconnection. I help people learn to trust their intuition and use vulnerability to build deeper connections.

Relationship Counseling

Relationships can be deeply fulfilling—and also deeply frustrating. Many couples get stuck in cycles of criticism, defensiveness, or withdrawal, leaving love feeling distant. I help partners slow down, tune into each other’s perspectives, and communicate in ways that foster connection instead of conflict. Using approaches like the Gottman Method, we’ll break negative cycles, rebuild intimacy, and create a partnership where both of you feel heard, valued, and loved.

So why focus on the breath in therapy?

Your breath is a simple but powerful way to influence your nervous system. Breathwork helps you tune into your body, calm overwhelm, and restore balance. By slowing your breath, you engage the parasympathetic system to relax, while activating breath can boost focus, energy, and motivation. It’s not just about relaxation — it’s about working with your body’s natural rhythms to feel more balanced every day.

Therapy for Individuals

Many clients come to therapy feeling “too much,” struggling with relational trauma, shame, or the weight of a lifetime of masking. You might notice people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, or hiding parts of yourself, making authentic connection in relationships feel impossible. I help people explore protective strategies that once kept them safe but now hold them back from self-trust, confidence, and fulfilling relationships. Together, we’ll heal relational wounds, manage anxiety, and cultivate self-compassion while learning to show up authentically. You don’t have to shrink to be loved.
