You are the strong one. High-achieving, independent, and holding it all together. But underneath, you’re tired of feeling alone, anxious in relationships, or stuck in patterns that don’t serve you. You long for connection, safety, and ease. You want to understand where these patterns come from, heal what’s underneath, and finally feel free to be fully yourself—in relationships and in life. You’re ready for real change, not just coping. Let’s get you there! I specialize in working with clients who have relationship anxiety (attachment), codependency or hyper independence, marital issues, self esteem issues and inner child wounding.
I help high-achieving, hyper-independent women and couples break free from anxiety, trauma, and relationship patterns rooted in early experiences. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in attachment work. Together, we create space for deeper connection, emotional safety, and the support you've always deserved.
You don’t have to keep carrying it all alone. Healing is possible, and you deserve support that sees the strong and tender parts of you. If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you. Contact me for a free consult call! You can also find me on Instagram (teatimetherapist) to get a feel for my approach.

Working with clients who have long standing patterns that aren't working stemming from childhood, can take some time. We start out building a foundation of trust and I view you as a whole person, not just your struggles. I use Attachment theory, Relational theory, Gottman methods, Gestalt and IFS informed modalities sprinkled with mindfulness practices to support healing in a holistic space.

Therapy needs to be tailored to you as an individual. I often use Relational theory, Attachment theory, Gottman methods, Gestalt and IFS informed modalities to support healing in a holistic space. When we have had relationships crumble in our lives or been betrayed, building up relational skills first is key to holding boundaries and moving forward towards healing in a healthy and secure way.
