New Jan 2026: Are you 18 - 35 and stuck in patterns you understand but can’t seem to change? Maybe you were raised by emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, struggle to set boundaries, or feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions while ignoring your own. You might be in a codependent relationship or constantly stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode. You intellectually knows what’s wrong - you’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, saved the tiktoks - but your body still reacts like you’re in survival mode. It’s exhausting to know what you need and still not be able to do it, or stick to it
Trust me, I get it - as a therapist who long-ago learned I couldn’t process my own emotions and trauma alone, I know how frustrating it is to name the problem but still feel stuck. You need a therapist who actually gets your unique brain. Somebody who helps you process your tangled up thoughts, calls out patterns, and holds you accountable to your goals
As a highly sensitive human person and therapist, I truly understand the challenges of finding the right clinical fit. Through a combination of my education and lived experience, I am here to help you in a way that creates permanent, lasting change, even when nothing else has worked. So stop scrolling and send me an email to see if we are a good fit.

My approach is as unique as my clients. There will be times when we spend more time processing past events and family history, and times when it makes more sense to focus on creating the life you dream of. Either way, the issues that need to be resolved will show up in our work together, and we will address them as they do. I take a trauma-informed, solutions focused, CBT approach to therapy.
