About My Clients

Many of my clients wonder if they're doing enough and carry the emotional weight of everyone around them. They fall into patterns of hiding their feelings to avoid conflict, but deep down, they're overwhelmed and feeling stuck. They want to feel comfortable being their authentic selves, set boundaries, and not second-guess so they can make decisions they feel confident about.

My Background and Approach

I work with people who’ve learned to be the one who holds everything together even when it’s hurting them. Many of my clients feel guilty to put themselves first and act as the go-to problem solver for others. If you’re stuck in people-pleasing, overthinking every decision, or walking on eggshells with someone you care about, you’re likely responding to old patterns that once helped you survive. Together we'll explore how your past influences your present and how past relationships and attachment shape your well-being. You’ll learn to manage your emotions and gain insights into the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions with me you will learn to stop abandoning yourself and start showing up for you. We’ll work at a pace that feels safe, without the pressure to be perfect. If this speaks to you, I’d be honored to support you. If you are interested in working together, I encourage you to reach out!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that as children we may witness or experience unhealthy dynamics within our families that often go unexamined until they begin to affect our adult relationships and professional lives. Many of the beliefs we carry were formed in response to early experiences, and while they may have once protected us, they later stand in the way of growth. Healing requires unlearning what no longer works, so you can build healthier connections and a more secure sense of self. While keeping your guard up in relationships can feel protective, it can also prevent you from accessing what you need to heal: intimacy and meaningful connections with yourself and others.
