Do you feel like you suppress your own needs in order to make others happy? Are you especially sensitive to others’ emotions, and even when they aren’t directly upset with you, you may feel the need to “fix” the problem? Maybe you’ve noticed the tendency to shut down during or avoid conflict.
I work with clients who feel blamed for problems, who are exhausted from never feeling "good enough" and who feel unloved because their own needs are not being met. I work with clients who are starting to grow resentful, and want to learn how to separate their own emotions from their partner’s to have healthier and more loving relationships.
I help couples and individuals move past a blame/defensiveness cycle, where conflicts never get resolved. I will help you to slow down, identify underlying fears and needs, stop taking responsibility for emotions that aren't yours, reconnect to your own needs and wants, and learn new ways of relating to your protector and perfectionist "parts".
You don't need to keep suppressing yourself to maintain relationships. The burden of taking care of others' emotions is exhausting, and I bet you've been carrying the weight for quite some time. It's okay to have needs. It's okay to want to be loved. Please reach out if you are ready to lighten the burden.

Groups
Unseen Grief Circle: Infertility/Pregnancy Loss
Infertility and miscarriage can carry a deep, often invisible grief. Many women feel isolated, misunderstood, or unsure where their grief is allowed to exist — especially when others expect them to “move on” or stay hopeful. This therapy group is for women navigating infertility or miscarriage who are looking for a supportive, compassionate space to process grief and connect with others who truly understand. You will gain support from others, process your own experiences (at your pace), and learn skills to cope with invisible grief and other accompanying emotions.
