You might be tired of feeling like you have to manage yourself all the time; talk yourself down, stay productive, keep the peace, keep it together. Many people I work with look like they’re functioning on the outside, but inside feel stuck in patterns they can’t fully explain: overthinking, people-pleasing, shutting down, feeling “too much,” or struggling to trust themselves and others.
I provide trauma-informed, identity-affirming therapy rooted in psychodynamic and interpersonal process approaches. Together we’ll explore protective patterns, make sense of what you’re carrying, and practice new ways of relating that feel more connecting, honest, and secure.
I specialize working with identity and value shifts, including complicated family and/or religious experiences; as well as with the overlap of ADHD traits and emotional/relational pain like chronic overwhelm, shame, and rejection sensitivity. If my approach resonates with you and you feel like we would be a good fit then I’d love to connect!
