You're not broken.
You just can't pretend anymore.
You know something is off. Maybe it's been off for a while. You're going through the motions, but underneath — something is unraveling. You don't need someone to fix you. You need someone who gets it. Let's find your way back to yourself.
You're not falling apart.
You're running on old survival code.
Somewhere along the way, your system built a set of rules to keep you safe. Don't trust the good stuff. Stay small. Stay in control. Numb the pain before it numbs you. Those rules made sense once. But now they're the thing standing between you and the life you actually want.
Good things happen and you blow them up.
You got the promotion. You met the person. Things are going well — and your whole system screams DANGER. Because last time life felt this good, everything exploded. So you pull the ripcord before life can do it for you.
You keep repeating the same pattern and you can't figure out why.
Different job, different relationship, different year — same result. You're smart enough to see it happening, but something deeper keeps running the show. It's not a character flaw. It's an old wound on autopilot.
Your body is telling you something and no one can explain what.
The headaches, the gut problems, the fatigue, the pain that showed up out of nowhere. Your body is keeping score of everything your mind is trying to process. It always tells the truth first.
You're numbing out more than you'd like to admit.
The extra glass of wine. The scrolling until 2am. The staying busy so you don't have to feel. You're not lazy or weak — your nervous system is reaching for the only relief it knows. The habit isn't the problem. It's what the habit is protecting you from.
This isn't weakness.
It's your nervous system doing its job.
At some point, your system learned that the safest thing to do was shut down, numb out, or blow things up before they could hurt you. That strategy kept you alive. But now it's running the show in places where you don't need protection anymore — and it doesn't know how to stop.
Your past isn't behind you.
It's running the show.
That thing that happened — whether you remember it clearly or just feel it in your body — it wrote the rules your nervous system still follows. Every time something good shows up, that old programming kicks in and says "not safe."
Your self-sabotage isn't self-destruction. It's protection.
Your system learned that good things are the setup before the hit. So it preemptively blows things up — because at least that's a destruction you control. It's not broken. It's brilliant. And it's ready to learn a new way.
You're not too much.
You just feel everything.
You've been told to calm down, toughen up, stop being so sensitive. But your depth of feeling isn't the problem. It's actually your superpower — once you learn how to carry it without it consuming you.
"This is where you are. But it's not where you have to stay. There is a way through — and I can walk it with you."
I learned this the hard way. On myself.
I spent years dealing with things nobody could explain and nobody seemed able to help. So I went looking for answers on my own. Hundreds of hours of training, study, reading, practice — not because I wanted to be a healer, but because I was trying to heal myself. And it worked.
Through that process, I realized I could help other people do the same thing. The combination of living it and learning it gave me something most practitioners don't have — I know what it feels like from the inside, and I know the tools that actually work because I used them on myself first.
How I Work
Every session is a blend of trauma-informed coaching and exploratory hypnotherapy — tailored to what you need. Coaching is how we find the blocks. Hypnotherapy is how we remove them. Some sessions are all coaching. Some go deeper. It depends on where your healing needs to go that day.
And if hypnotherapy sounds intimidating — think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure guided meditation. You're always in control. I'm the guide, not the guru — I suggest, you decide. I've done sessions with people's eyes open. I've worked with people who swore they couldn't be hypnotized. I work outside the box because people don't fit inside one.
Because I spent years doing my own trial and error, I have a huge toolbox — including things that didn't work for me but work beautifully for other people. My job is to help you find the tools that fit YOU. We try things, you tell me what resonates, and we build your personal toolbox together.
Then I send you on your way with it. The goal is always to get you to a place where you don't need me. Your toolbox goes with you into future situations, future challenges, future growth. And if you hit a new level and new stuff comes up — that's when you come back, and we add to the toolbox. No dependency. Just support when you need it.
Along the way, we may work with:

No cookie-cutter programs. Just you.
Everyone's path is different because everyone's wound is different. I don't sell packages — I meet you where you are and we build your path together.
Free Consultation
A 45-minute conversation where we talk about what's going on, what you want to feel instead, and what I think it might take to get there. No pressure. No pitch. Just honesty.
Build Your Toolbox
We work together to find what actually works for you. We try things, you tell me what resonates, and we build a personal set of tools you can use on your own — long after our sessions are done.
Take It With You
Once your toolbox is built, you go live your life with it. If you level up and new things come up, you come back and we add to it. No dependency — just support when you need it.
This is what the other side feels like.
Not perfect. Not "fixed." Just... lighter. Clearer. Like you can finally breathe without bracing for impact.
Sliding scale for healing sessions.
I offer sessions on a sliding scale between $75 and $250 because I believe healing should be both accessible and energetically sustainable.
This work is deep, intuitive, and trauma-informed. It takes presence, care, and lived experience — not just time.
There's no need to explain or justify your choice. I trust you. And your rate doesn't need to stay the same every session — if your situation shifts, you can pay more one week and less the next. You're never locked in.
Every session is 90 minutes. I do this intentionally — it gives us the space to follow each thread all the way through to completion. And if we don't need the full time? I prorate. I'd rather end a session early knowing you got what you needed than keep you there just to fill the clock.
Community Sustainer
Choose this if you have access to financial abundance or stability. Your choice helps subsidize lower-income sessions. You're not just receiving — you're helping make this possible for someone else.
Standard Rate
This reflects the full value of my time, training, intuition, and care. Choose this if you can comfortably meet your needs and this amount won't create financial stress.
Community Rate
Choose this if you're meeting your basic needs but with some tension. If the standard rate would create hardship, this tier offers balance.
Supported Rate
Choose this if you're navigating financial uncertainty or would be unable to access this work at higher rates. This range exists so healing remains accessible.
How many sessions will I need?
Some issues shift quickly — one or two sessions can create meaningful change. Deeper patterns usually involve multiple layers, and clients often see the most powerful shifts working weekly or every other week for 6-12 sessions.
Emergency support between sessions
Clients may request one emergency call per week, up to 15 minutes, when something urgent comes up. If a call goes beyond 15 minutes, additional time is billed at a prorated rate.
Couples sessions
Offered at the same sliding scale rates. We explore the younger parts influencing both partners and how they interact. Many relationship conflicts are actually two younger parts trying to protect themselves at the same time.
Not sure where you fall?
Take a breath. Ask yourself: "What is an amount I can offer that feels honest and sustainable?" Let your body answer. No judgment. No proof. If your situation changes, we can always revisit it together.

Inner Child Work
That part of you that learned the rules before you were old enough to question them? That's your inner child. They decided things like "love hurts" or "good things don't last" — and your adult self has been living by those rules ever since.
Inner child work is how we find that part of you, hear what they need, and finally give them the safety they never got.
Somatic Healing
Your body remembers everything your mind tried to forget. That tension in your chest, the knot in your stomach — that's stored experience your body never got to release.
Somatic work lets the body lead. We find what it's holding and give it permission to let go.
Empathic & Energy Work
If you've ever walked into a room and felt the energy shift, you already know what this is. You feel everything — and nobody taught you how to manage that.
We work with your sensitivity as the gift it is, instead of the burden it's become.
Nervous System Regulation
Your nervous system is the control center — fight, flight, freeze, fawn. When it's dysregulated, everything falls apart.
Regulation work teaches your body it's safe to come out of survival mode. Once it settles, everything else starts to shift.
