I specialize in results-oriented therapy for sensitive, self-aware adults ready to heal family-of-origin wounds and navigate life transitions with more clarity, calm, and self-trust. Growing up around emotionally immature or unpredictable people taught you to over-function and minimize your needs. Sound familiar? Now you’re realizing that old patterns still shape how you love, work, and care for others. You want to feel grounded, authentic, and free to live on your own terms. You don’t have to keep doing this alone — change is possible, and therapy can help you get there.
I help sensitive, insightful adults heal family-of-origin wounds and navigate change with clarity and compassion. Blending IFS, mindfulness, and practical boundary work, we’ll turn deep awareness into steady self-trust and more balanced relationships. I help smart, creative adults with ADHD + anxiety build the lives they want.
You don’t have to keep performing strength. Therapy can be a space to breathe, feel, and finally belong to yourself. My style is warm, attuned, and direct. If you’re ready to move beyond old roles and create a life that truly fits, let’s talk. Click the email button to schedule a free consultation and see if we’re a good fit.
