"There's no one giant step that does it. It’s a lot of little steps.” Cohen
Have you been feeling constrained by expectations that no longer fit, questioning who you are beneath the roles you carry, or struggling in relationships or family dynamics that feel draining or confusing? You may notice pulling away from others, getting stuck in self-critical thought patterns, or seeking reassurance or distraction to manage what feels overwhelming inside.
These responses make sense—they are adaptive strategies shaped by early relational experiences. When they begin to limit authenticity and choice, recognizing this can open the door to meaningful change.
We will explore how past experiences continue to shape your nervous system, identity, and relationships in the present. Together, we build awareness, strengthen internal resources, and practice new ways of responding so you can meet current challenges with greater clarity, choice, and self-trust.
If you yearn for a sense of control in a world that often feels overwhelming, take the first step toward liberation. Imagine the freedom of shedding burdens and worries, reconnecting with yourself, and embracing a life that aligns with your authentic self. I invite you to schedule a session and embark on this empowering journey of self-discovery and growth.
