I specialize in working with people who have no or low contact with a family member.
Family estrangement is a deeply painful and often misunderstood experience. Whether the distance was your decision or someone else’s, the emotional impact can be profound—grief without a funeral and anger without resolution.
You may feel isolated, guilty, relieved, or all of the above. You also likely struggling with doubt about your choices, navigating pressure from others to “make amends,” or trying to make peace with a family story that doesn’t have a tidy ending.
I offer depth-oriented therapy with a psychodynamic and relational approach—meaning we explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped you. This work aims for lasting change, not just symptom relief. I’m a good fit for people who are curious about what’s beneath their struggles and want to understand themselves more fully.
If this speaks to something you’ve been carrying, you’re welcome to reach out. I’d be glad to connect and see if working together feels like a good fit.
