If you’ve spent your life being the “easy daughter,” the high achiever, the caretaker—yet still struggle with self doubt and never feeling good enough—you’re not alone. I help perfectionists and recovering people-pleasers understand that their self-worth doesn’t need to be earned. Through a psychospiritual lens, we’ll explore your early conditioning, heal shame, and build a deeper sense of worth rooted in who you are, not what you do.

I use hypnotherapy to help you access the subconscious roots of your patterns—especially the ones that won’t budge through talk therapy alone. With gentle age regression, inner child work, and visualizations, we bypass the overthinking mind and connect with deeper emotional truths. Hypnosis can help with self doubt, anxiety, boundary issues, and the lingering guilt so many of us carry. I'm certified in hypnotherapy and offer extended intensives to support lasting, integrative healing.

I blend evidence-based therapy with spiritual and somatic practices to address the full spectrum of your being—mind, body, and spirit. I integrate psychodynamic, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, ketamine, and ancestral healing to meet you where you are. This work is supportive for those navigating the long-term effects of childhood trauma, perfectionism, and the emotional aftermath of a dysfunctional family system. Healing isn't linear, and I honor that with an intuitive, client-centered approach.

Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity. It can look like competence on the outside and quiet self-doubt underneath. Questioning your decisions. Needing reassurance. Feeling “behind” even when you’re accomplished. For many women, self-worth was shaped in homes where love felt conditional or approval had to be earned. In our work, we separate your identity from performance so your confidence comes from self-trust, not external validation.

Historical and intergenerational trauma often lives in what wasn’t said or protected in childhood. Many of the individuals that I work with grew up feeling unseen by emotionally immature parents, where reputation mattered more than feelings and boundaries were blurred or absent. You may have learned to stay quiet, overfunction, or shrink to keep the peace. Together we untangle these inherited patterns so your worth is no longer tied to survival roles.

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks. It often shows up in subtle, socially acceptable ways- rehearsing what you’re going to say before you say it or replaying conversations on the drive home. It can look like over-preparing so you’re never caught off guard. Avoiding conflict to keep the peace. Saying “yes” when you mean “no” and then ruminating for hours. I specialize in anxiety rooted in an emotionally unseen childhood and people-pleasing patterns.

My approach is eclectic and integrative, weaving together psychospiritual approach to therapy with somatic work, ecotherapy, hypnotherapy, and psychedelic-informed care. I honor the connection between mind, body, spirit, and expanded states of consciousness. For some, healing may include nature-based practices, symbolic ritual, or vision-oriented inner journeys. Therapy becomes a collaborative space where insight, embodiment, and spiritual depth work together.
