Are you the problem solver in your family, but when you need help, no one is around? Was your homelife unpredictable, and did you find yourself taking on adult responsibilities? Or did you grow up hearing criticism, leading you to doubt your choices or feel less confident as an adult? Many who grew up this way find it hard to trust others or can be too hard on themselves. Please know that healing is possible. Your relationships can feel safer and connected by learning about your patterns, values, and emotional needs. Together, we’ll create a plan to build your self esteem, navigate relationship issues, and process any past traumas.
I’ve helped people for 9 years. If you have trouble saying no, people-pleasing, speaking up, or setting rules with friends and family, I can help. We will work together to let go of unhelpful behaviors, rebuild self esteem, and heal from past trauma.
Submit your request here or visit my website to schedule a free consultation call. Together, we can help you feel more confident and in control of your life. I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, and UnitedHealthcare/Optum. My private pay rate is $225 for a 50-minute session. I offer telehealth-only services Monday through Thursday from 11 am-6 pm.
