A lot of the challenges we face—like people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, or feeling like a fraud—come from the state of our relationships, both with others and with ourselves. We live our lives in connection with other people, and it’s almost impossible not to be affected by how others see us. When we try too hard to avoid rejection, it can actually hold us back from living in a way that feels true and meaningful. This can leave us feeling even more unsure of ourselves—especially if we've been in toxic or abusive relationships.
My work starts by understanding how your inner critics show up—how past and present experiences shaped them and what keeps them going. From there, we can quiet those voices and make space for new ways of feeling and relating—to yourself and others—whether at work, in family life, or in close relationships.
I believe meaningful growth happens in a relationship grounded in trust and mutual respect. My hope is to create a space that feels safe enough for you to be challenged as well as supported—a place where you're not just validated, but pushed to grow in ways that feel true and lasting.

In dialogue around ND affirming care, I found Rourke to be authentic, present, and open. She demonstrated a therapeutic vulnerability in sharing her thoughts and in dialogue catching herself when she heard herself describe a narrative she no longer held.
