If you're reading this, you might be the one others always rely on. The thoughtful, dependable, and emotionally aware one. Maybe you were "mature for your age." At the same time, there may be moments when you feel anxious, resentful, or quietly overwhelmed. You might say yes when you want to say no, shrink your needs to avoid conflict, or feel responsible for keeping the peace. Over time, this can sometimes leave you feeling drained, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what you truly want.
Because these patterns tend to live in the nervous system, insight alone may not be enough to shift them. In therapy, we may create opportunities to practice showing up differently both inside and outside of sessions and work through the anxiety or guilt that may arise. Over time, these new ways of being may feel more familiar and safe.
My work is informed by experiential, relational, and somatic approaches, and I aim to create a therapeutic space that is inclusive, trauma-informed, and attentive to the broader social and cultural contexts that shape our lives. If you would like to learn more about how I can support you, please feel free to visit my website.
