From the outside, you are a high-achieving person, the one everyone in the family relies on to be "fine." But on the inside, you feel like you are drowning in household chores, high expectations, taking care of your kids, and holding your partner's emotions together. You just can't do it all. Many of my clients grew up with a dysfunctional, chaotic family and learned from a young age that the people in their lives couldn’t handle them having a bad day. In therapy, we won’t just talk about your stress and overwhelm; we will challenge the old patterns that cause it. I want you to connect with your feelings and take up more space!
I offer a safe, welcoming space to explore your unmet needs, confidently set boundaries, say "no," communicate how you really feel, and live more authentically. My goal is to help you feel grounded, seen, and connected in your relationships and within yourself. You have spent your life making sure everyone else is taken care of; now it's your turn.
Research shows that clients' success in therapy is heavily influenced by their connection to their therapist. We may be a good fit if you are looking for a therapist who strikes a balance between compassionate support and honest feedback. I often tell clients we don't grow in our comfort zone!

I specialize in supporting people who are exhausted from trying to hold everything together, hiding their feelings to take care of everyone else's chaos. In our first session, I will spend time understanding your current challenges and how you got "here." Then we will work together to dismantle patterns keeping you stuck and build back the self-trust to express your needs without feeling guilty.

I use an integrative approach, drawing from psychodynamic and relational therapies to help you understand your past experiences and how they impact you today. My therapy style is a balance between compassionate support and honest feedback.
