Did you grow up being the strong one — the mature one — the one who kept the peace? Maybe you learned early to prioritize everyone else’s emotions while quietly setting your own aside. Now, as an adult, you may struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or a lingering sense that you don’t quite know who you are outside of what others need from you. If you're an adult child of emotionally immature parents, healing from narcissistic abuse, navigating the impact of trauma, going through a major life transition, or looking to rediscover your identity and love yourself wholeheartedly, I'm here to support you.
In our work together, we will begin to understand and transform these patterns. Therapy with me is a space where you can show up fully — without performing or holding it all together. We’ll process trauma, explore the narratives shaping your identity, and strengthen boundaries and resilience so you can move forward with greater steadiness and self-trust.
Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable — but healing from childhood and relational wounds is possible. If you're ready to move from survival mode into a more authentic, grounded way of living, I'd be honored to walk alongside you — supporting you through both the challenges of change and the joy of your breakthroughs.
