 Areas of Focus

Money can stir up strong emotions because it’s closely tied to our sense of security, self-worth, identity, and control. It can trigger shame and entitlement, or deep fears of loss, failure, instability, and judgment. It can bring out a need to control or protect what we have, what we want to have, or what we feel we should have.


Financial therapy helps navigate the emotional and psychological side of money. In family dynamics, money might fuel conflicts around fairness, roles, responsibilities, and unspoken expectations. In business, it may spark tension over values, decision-making, profit sharing, or spending habits. Together, we explore the underlying patterns and beliefs that shape your financial decisions or internal struggles. We can also address mental roadblocks or relationship conflicts tied to inheritance issues, investments, or sudden wealth syndrome.


We work towards transforming your relationship with money along with any deep-rooted fears, shame, and patterns that get in the way of peace of mind. Together, we’ll work on practical skills like building healthy habits for long-term financial stability while overcoming beliefs about money that cause unnecessary stress or stagnation.
