About My Clients

I primarily work with women who are navigating difficult family dynamics, processing the impacts of trauma, struggling with negative thought patterns and related anxiety, experiencing relationship issues, are struggling to implement boundaries in their lives, and are trying to find their voice through all of this. I strongly specialize in working with women who are navigating complex relationships with their parents.

My Background and Approach

I have several years of experience working with women navigating the complexities of building self-trust through self-discovery. I work holistically and collaboratively to help you better understand where underlying issues may be stemming from, while also incorporating tools for coping, regulation, and improving relationships in the here-and-now. I strongly aim to help you learn more about your needs and values and how we can put them into practice. I run a support group for women managing complex relationships with their parents in which I provide psycho-education, a space for relatability and connection, and a foundation for understanding the impact of dysfunctional parental relationships.
