Feeling like you're too much—or not enough? Maybe you come from a background where you felt unloved, unsafe or unwanted. Perhaps you learned to hide your pain behind a smile and say you're "fine" when you're not. Many people feel inherently defective and think, "If people knew the real me they wouldn’t like what they see." You're not alone. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed and stuck in old patterns that no longer serve them. As a relational, trauma-focused therapist, I work with individuals 16+ navigating developmental trauma, attachment wounds, and low self worth. If you’re ready to begin, call me — I can help.
I specialize in working with older adolescents and adults who struggle with self esteem, anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. Sometimes straight talk therapy isn't enough. I approach things from a holistic viewpoint, incorporating multiple evidence based approaches including EMDR, IFS, Somatic work and attachment theory to help you.
It's okay if you're unsure where to start. Together we'll explore the parts of you that still hurt, gently gather the pieces of your story and nurture self-compassion, clarity and connection from the inside out. You don't have to navigate it alone. Healing is a complex journey and I am here to guide you through the hard parts. You are NOT too much. Reach out

When your earliest experiences taught you that love or safety were conditional, it can shape every relationship that follows, including the one with yourself. Healing developmental trauma means learning to feel safe in your own body, your emotions, and your connections again. In our work together, we'll help you rebuild trust from the inside out and rediscover your innate capacity to heal.
