Neglect (CEN)
Trauma travels. Let me help you become the Updated Version — and break the cycle for good.
Get Started NowWhat Didn't Happen
Matters Too
Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) is a term coined by Jonice Webb to evaluate more of what didn't happen than what did. Clients frequently show up feeling broken, lost, inadequate, or defective.
A specialist in family dysfunction helps us see the blind spots — things that appeared "normal" but were actually detrimental to our self-worth. We are not here to play the blame game. The purpose is to get you stable and on route to your ideal life.
Every interaction since the day we were born has shaped us into who we are. Our performance was often created through the interpretation of a child — your inner child. In therapy, we will get to know those younger parts of you. This may be the first time anyone has ever truly shown up for them.

Clients who are unaware of CEN typically report they had "an okay childhood" but just can't seem to get their life together.
"Trauma travels. Let's face it — everyone is just sort of getting by. I don't want you to just get by. I want to help you find the bigger meaning to happiness." — Keesha, Coastal Counseling

Dot Connecting
Reminding you of what you said three months ago and how it is showing up again in a completely different way today. Humans have fewer core problems than they think.
Theme Catching
I believe humans really only have a couple of core problems that look different at the surface level. My job is to find yours and help you dismantle them.
Building Authenticity
No more hiding who you are or what you need. You will learn to think and act for yourself — possibly for the very first time in your life.
This Work Goes
Beyond Just You
Everything else in life is getting upgraded — cell phones, AI, gaming systems. We as humans are upgrading too, but it takes some work to become that Updated Version. And there will always be another update — I help teach you to do the ongoing work on your own.
This work goes much deeper than just you. It is about our societal future and building emotional intimacy with the people in your life. Let's dissect your family culture and help you find the bigger meaning to happiness.
As long as you continue to ignore the internal cries of your inner child, life will remain a struggle. Healing comes when they feel loved and heard.
