My Story: The Journey to Understanding Connection
I am a healer—not because I have avoided pain, but because I have faced it, learned from it, and grown through it.
The death of my father when I was 16 instilled in me the belief that family was the one thing you could always count on. But life eventually taught me a more complex and painful truth: that even the bonds we believe are unbreakable can fracture, and that the unwavering security we often seek from others must ultimately be built within ourselves.
For years, I played the role of the helper, the one who tried to make everything okay for everyone else. I learned the hard way that you cannot control outcomes, and that true strength isn't about giving more of yourself away—it's about learning how to show up authentically, even when it’s difficult.
My own journey through loss and emotional rebuilding became my true calling. It was in navigating this path that I discovered the profound power of genuine connection, both with my husband of 21 years, who provided a safe space for me to heal, and most importantly, with myself.
This is why I created the Emotional Connection Method.
My Approach: The Emotional Connection Method
My personal and professional journey has taught me that we cannot build healthy relationships with others until we learn to love ourselves, see our own value, and understand that we are enough; just as we are.
Through my successful private practice, I have spent over two decades helping people who felt lost, disconnected, and insecure from seeking external validation. My method is structured, compassionate, and designed to help you achieve real transformation.
Through our work together, I will guide you to:
Heal from past relationship trauma and emotional wounds in a safe, supportive space.
Develop deep self-awareness and self-worth that becomes the foundation for personal growth.
Enhance communication skills so you can express yourself and foster true intimacy.
Break free from negative patterns of self-doubt and relational conflict.
Rebuild trust and strengthen your connection with loved ones.
I created this method because I know what it feels like to question everything you thought you could count on. But I also know the deep, resilient strength that comes from rebuilding. You don't have to navigate this journey alone.
