New April 2026 - Are you between 25-35 years old and find yourself grappling with the past, were raised by emotionally immature (or narcissistic) parents, struggle with setting boundaries, are in a codependent relationship, or feel responsible for the emotions of others while neglecting your own? Is your body constantly in fight, flight or freeze mode, and you can't seem to break the unhealthy patterns that keep you stuck? It's infuriating to intellectually know what to do and not be able to DO it (or stick to it)
I understand how these challenges can feel like a never-ending cycle. Maybe you've tried self-help books/videos, going for walks, and journaling, but nothing seems to address the ACTUAL source of your pain
I get it – you’re not just looking to talk; you want to resolve your issues and unhelpful cycles. I specialize in helping young adults with CPTSD symptoms like low self-worth, depression, substance misuse, and neglect. Honestly – everybody needs to be empathetically challenged. To see if we’re a fit, email me for a free 15-min consultation :).

My approach is as unique as my clients. There will be times when we intensively process past events and family history, and times when it makes more sense to focus on the present and future. We will work together to regulate your nervous system, set healthy boundaries, stop people pleasing, and reconnect to your intuition.
