Tired of feeling confused, dismissed, or like you're always the problem? Maybe it's showing up in your relationship with a partner or family member, or perhaps it's a friendship or a dynamic at work. You're the one who holds it together for everyone else, but privately you're exhausted and unsure of yourself. You're not broken. You're stuck in a pattern that made sense once but doesn't serve you anymore — and you're ready to change that.
My approach is collaborative, not prescriptive. Together we slow things down so you can understand your patterns, trust your own perceptions, and decide what you want. With over 15 years of experience and specialized training in relational dynamics, narcissistic abuse recovery, and neurodivergent-affirming care, I help clients find clarity.
You've spent enough time wondering if things will just get better on their own. If you're tired of feeling confused, dismissed, or stuck in the same cycles, you don't have to keep figuring it out alone and you don't have to have it all figured out before we talk. I'd love to offer you a free 15-minute consultation to connect and see if we're a good fit.

Good therapy should be accessible, not just for those who can pay full price. I'm out-of-network with insurance but provide a monthly superbill for potential reimbursement. If cost is a concern, let's talk about it during your free consultation.

Relationship pain, confusing dynamics, and feeling lost in your own patterns. Treatment typically involves slowing down, exploring your history, and identifying what's keeping you stuck. You can expect to leave with greater self-understanding, clearer boundaries, and the confidence to move forward on your own terms.
