If only the image you have perfected projecting were true. Everyone seems to buy it; that you are as calm, confident, and competent as you portray yourself to be. Meanwhile, you walk around feeling like a little girl wearing her mother’s heels. The worst part is always worrying about being “found out” as the fraud that you know yourself to be. It makes it hard to be really emotionally available and honest in your relationships and you always end up feeling so alone. All the success in your professional life just makes you feel like you have that much more to lose when someone really sees what you are desperately trying to hide.

Online therapy is a private and convenient way to get the support you need.

You can learn to believe in yourself. You can have deep and fulfilling relationships and let yourself breathe. With a good balance of practical skills to implement for relief now and gently working through the old stuff that set you up to feel this way in the first place, you and I will navigate this shame stuff from inside a safe therapeutic relationship.

They say the first step is always the hardest- but it doesn't have to be. I work online in DC and Virginia, so your excuses about not having the time to commit to yourself are no good here. Imagine finally living an authentic and connected life; let me help you get there. Call today to schedule your free consultation.

Trauma is my passion. I have focused on becoming proficient in a number of "bottom-up" approaches to help with the "I understand why it doesn't make sense, I just still feel shame." Ask me about EMDR, IFS, brainspotting, and we can explore what would work best for you.

I specialize in working with people who might have described themselves as the peacekeepers in their families. Often, my clients felt they needed to be easy so that they wouldn't be a problem to their parents or caretakers, and therefore didn't get to experience the carefree, lighthearted childhood they deserved.

I want to help you get relief. That means we will focus on actionable steps that you can take NOW, and I often will give homework at the end of each session. That said, I find that for things to get better long term, there is often some deeper work to do to understand your patterns, how you ended up here, and how to create a different future. I find EMDR and IFS to be powerful tools for that work.
