“I trust animals more than people.” It’s something I often hear from the adults (27+) I work with. You may replay awkward moments in your head, overthink everything, and feel exhausted from trying to hold it all together. You’re highly sensitive, ADHD, or are starting to wonder if you might be autistic. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, and done the reflecting but still feel stuck. You might also be wrestling with complicated family dynamics, like narcissistic or emotionally immature relatives, and trying to figure out how to heal while staying true to yourself.
As someone who was late-diagnosed, I know what it’s like to wonder why everything feels harder than it should. You can learn how to work with your nervous system, not against it. Together we’ll untangle the past, heal from burnout, set boundaries, and find ways of living that feel more sustainable, supportive, and true to who you are.
Join therapy from the comfort of your own home or office. Grab a comfy pillow and if your pet shows up on screen, even better. I consider them part of the team. A cat butt in the camera is usually my cue you might need a little extra support. If this resonates, I’d love to connect with a free consultation.
