Life has a way of molding us into the person we had to be instead of the person we actually are. If you grew up with emotionally immature parents, you likely learned to shrink yourself or become the “reasonable one” while the adults acted like toddlers. Now, you're stuck in old patterns—choosing relationships that feel eerily familiar, doubting your needs, saddling yourself with responsibility for everyone else's joy while feeling chronically inadequate. It’s frustrating as hell, especially when you know what’s happening but can’t seem to shift it. Therapy with me is about dismantling the old M.O. and consciously choosing YOU.
For couples & polycules, I help untangle the ways your childhood survival strategies are hijacking your connection. You're not satisfied with mere "communication skills." You need to know where your defaults come from & how to pivot. If you're LGBTQ+, ENM, or feeling stifled by tradition, this work is about getting off the conveyor belt & finding your US.
I take my work seriously, but not myself too seriously - so expect me to be irreverent & to show my cards. I won't let you flail while I politely nod from behind a clipboard, nor will I spoon-feed you feel-good platitudes that don't hold up outside of session. I'll hold you warmly & show my utmost respect for you by walking the walk & being deeply human too.
