Do you often feel responsible for other people’s emotions—or like your needs never quite seem to matter? Growing up with emotionally immature, unavailable, or self-centered parents can leave lasting effects well into adulthood. You may struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, low self-worth, or repeated relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen or emotionally drained. I specialize in working with adults who are trying to make sense of their experiences with emotionally immature parents and/or partners. We can explore those patterns, untangle the confusion, and help you reconnect with your own voice, needs, and identity.

When life feels heavy—when anxiety, grief, or relationship struggles start to dim your sense of peace—it can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the people you love. But you don’t have to keep doing this alone. You deserve a space where you can breathe, unpack what’s been weighing on you, and find your way back to yourself. As a counselor, my primary goal is to create a safe, authentic, and supportive environment where you can feel welcomed, seen, and valued. I believe that healing begins with fostering a healthy relationship with yourself, and I hope to help you reconnect with yourself.

Are you stuck, repeating the same patterns in relationships that start out full of hope and desire, but end up in distance and disappointment? Do fears keep surfacing that lead you to react in ways that sabotage your goals/push others away? You may worry about rejection and loss, or find yourself lonely and disillusioned, wondering what's "wrong" that undermines your happiness. Rest assured, you're not alone! I've been there, too. If you are suffering in relationships, feeling heartbroken, or yearning from unmet needs, I can empower you to understand and change the underlying dynamics to promote intimacy and connection.

You feel anxious, guilty, and stretched too thin. Old family patterns show up in your relationships, leaving you resentful, angry, or unsure of yourself. Living with ADHD or other neurodivergence may add to the overwhelm, making it harder to keep up with the demands of parenting, partnership, and work. You find yourself snapping or shutting down, then feeling weighed down by guilt and self-doubt. More than anything, you want to feel grounded, confident, and present again. I help parents and therapists navigate anxiety, identity, and relationships with compassion through a trauma-informed, attachment-based, feminist lens.
