From the outside, you holds everything together. The mental load, the emotional labor of your relationships, the pressure to always be perfect. It doesn't leave much room to check in with yourself. And yet underneath all of it there's a low hum of anxiety you can't quite explain, a fear that if you stop holding everything together something important will fall apart. A fear that you've put everything into your relationships and lost yourself in the process of caring for everyone else.In our work together, we slow things down so you can feel more confident, present, and connected to the people that matter most.
We’ll explore how you learned to connect, handle conflict, and take up space in relationships, and where those patterns began. I draw on relational and psychodynamic approaches, and use EMDR when something feels stuck that talking cannot reach. Together we notice what happens in real time so you can understand old patterns and begin responding differently.
You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Many people start therapy simply knowing something doesn't feel right and wanting a place to understand it. If you have been the one holding everything together for a long time and you are ready for a space that is entirely yours, a free 15-minute consultation is a low pressure place to start
