Therapy for Individuals

Self-Esteem & Inner Transformation

You have professional and personal accomplishments yet your inner self has doubts and self-criticism. You long to enjoy an inner sense of well-being but find it elusive. You are stuck to figure out what happened at how they can free themselves.

I help you to feel more like yourself again!

My passion is helping women to recover from sexism, patriarchy, and difficult childhood attachments to help them transform their lives into a vibrant, creative, and grounded experience.

Together, we unravel the tangled threads. Through therapy, they can uncover the authentic and resilient person within.

Working with me offers you a profound opportunity to transform early trauma that holds you back in the present day. The focus of therapy is to reset your inner self-concept.

You will be amazed at the results when your inner critic is no longer holding you back!
