If you’re tired of being strong, you’re not alone. Do shame, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or repeated relationship patterns leave you stuck? Maybe you struggle to open up or lie awake replaying conversations, worrying you’re too much, not enough, a failure or a burden. You may snap, shut down, feel guarded, or keep others at a distance—even while longing for closeness. Maybe you push it all down but live with tension, a knot in your belly, or a sense you can never fully relax. Deep down fears of intimacy, rejection, abandonment, or betrayal—often rooted in childhood—may sabotage your relationships.
Even if therapy hasn’t worked for you before, relief is possible. I specialize in treating trauma/C-PTSD, attachment issues (anxious, avoidant, disorganized), and ADHD. I also work frequently with other therapists who rarely have spaces you aren’t expected to be in ‘therapist mode’ to focus on your own needs and healing.
My approach is empathetic and grounded in evidence-based attachment science. We’ll create corrective experiences to help you build a more secure connection with yourself and others, using experiential processing and body-based techniques to reach deeper patterns talk therapy alone can’t shift. Choosing a therapist who feels right is an important first step.
