Specialities- What I Help with

At Roots of Healing, you don’t have to navigate these struggles alone. Here are some of the most common challenges I help clients through in therapy.

“I look successful on the outside, but inside I feel anxious and insecure.”

I get it—you’re not alone in feeling this way.

How I Can Help

  • No matter how much you give, it feels like it’s never enough

    You feel like no matter what you do, it’s never enough. Even when some people in your life reassure you, the voices that say you’re falling short seem to stay the loudest. No matter how much you try to push those thoughts away, they linger—and leave you questioning your worth in relationships.

    In our work together, we’ll untangle those patterns so you can feel more secure, connected, and confident in your relationships.

  • You’ve learned to put everyone else first—leaving little space for yourself.

    Somewhere along the way, you learned that to be loved, you had to put others first. Over time, that’s meant sacrificing parts of yourself. Now, you find yourself feeling resentful—pouring into everyone else’s cup while yours stays empty. And when you finally ask for support, the very people who benefited most make you feel guilty for needing care too.

    In therapy, we’ll create space for your needs and your voice, helping you set boundaries with compassion and reclaim the parts of yourself you’ve had to push aside.

  • Even small mistakes feel like failure, and your inner critic never lets you forget it.

    As long as you’re performing well, it feels possible to keep uncomfortable emotions at bay. But the moment you make a mistake, receive criticism, or fall short of “perfect,” everything comes crashing in. You feel the weight of failure, and your inner critic steps in—trying to protect you from ever making another mistake, even if it means carrying the burden of relentless self-criticism.

    Together, we’ll soften that inner critic and build a new way of relating to yourself—one rooted in self-compassion, balance, and the freedom to be human without the weight of perfection.

  • Your mind won’t stop racing, and your body feels the toll of carrying constant worry.

    Your mind feels as busy as LA traffic—racing thoughts weaving in and out without pause. You wish you could quiet it, but instead your body joins in: a racing heart, shallow breath, tense muscles. And you’re tired of hearing unhelpful advice like “just stop worrying” or “it’s all in your head.” Because for you, it isn’t that simple—the weight of anxiety is real, and it impacts both your mind and your body.

    In therapy, we’ll slow things down together so you can learn to calm your body, quiet your mind, and finally feel some space to breathe again.

  • You’ve carried the weight of painful experiences alone for too long—and part of you is still waiting for comfort

    The pain you’ve carried is locked away, like a vault deep inside. A younger version of you—the one who went through it—is still waiting for comfort, for someone to say “you’re not alone.” Part of you longs for others to provide that safety, while another part feels scared to face it at all. The push-and-pull is exhausting, and yet, the need for healing is still there.

    In our work, we’ll go gently, at your pace, so you can begin to reconnect with those parts of you that have been holding the weight of trauma—bringing them the compassion, safety, and care they’ve needed all along.

“I carry so much guilt and self-doubt, even when others tell me I’m doing well.”

It can feel overwhelming, and with support, you can begin to trust yourself and move forward with more ease.

Imagine noticing the voice of self-doubt and not being pulled into it. Over time you learn to respond with curiosity instead of shame, set boundaries without guilt, and move through your day with steadier confidence. Therapy helps you live from your calm, clear center more often — even when life gets messy.

What You’ll Take Away from Therapy

1. Notice what’s happening inside.
You’ll learn to spot the different “voices” inside you — the critic, the fixer, the anxious part — so they stop feeling automatic and overwhelming.

2. Meet those voices with curiosity.
Instead of arguing with them or trying to ignore them, you’ll practice listening in a curious, compassionate way. That softens them.

3. Find your calm center.
We’ll help you connect to the steadier, kinder part of you (your calm center) that can lead decision-making instead of fear or shame.

4. Help the worried parts let go of old stories.
Parts often hold painful beliefs from the past. When they feel safe, they can let go of those extreme beliefs and lighten their load.

5. Get your inner voices to cooperate.
The goal is internal teamwork: your parts can take on healthier roles so you aren’t stuck reacting the same way.

6. Try new ways of being in life.
With internal cooperation, you’ll experiment with different behaviors — setting boundaries, tolerating imperfection, trusting yourself — and see them work.
