You can be deeply self-aware and still lose yourself in relationships. Maybe you understand other people’s feelings almost instantly—but struggle to know what you need. You overthink, people-please, take responsibility for emotions that aren’t yours, or keep the peace at your own expense. You may already understand why you do these things, yet still feel stuck in the pattern. I help self-aware adults uncover what keeps them abandoning themselves for connection, so they can trust what they feel, honour what they need, and stay connected to themselves while staying connected to others.
I specialize in emotional regulation, relationship dynamics, codependency, people-pleasing, self-acceptance, and the patterns that lead to emotional over-functioning. Using a trauma-informed, relational and emotionally focused approach, I help you develop greater self-trust, emotional clarity, healthier boundaries, and more authentic relationships.
If you’re tired of understanding everyone else while losing touch with yourself, therapy can help. You don’t need to become less caring or sensitive. You can learn to trust your needs, express yourself without guilt, and create relationships where you feel secure, respected, and fully yourself. If this feels familiar, email to book your virtual consult.

I help clients who feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, stuck in relationship patterns, or constantly responsible for others. You can expect warmth, curiosity, honesty, and a space where you don't have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have all the answers. Together we'll explore the patterns beneath these experiences and build greater emotional awareness.
