Are you the one in your family/circle who has "made it" and now you have become the exhausted rescuer for the people you care about? Are there relationships in your present or past that need to be put to rest so they can stop showing up in your thought life? Have you realized some emotional triggers but not sure what to do next? Are you tired of feeling emotionally overwhelmed? Wouldn't it help to have a place you can go to process how to create healthier expectations? Would it help to have a confidential place to figure out how to work through stress without having to babysit someone else's response?

Some people call this anxiety, others low self-esteem, codependency, or people-pleasing.
You have never felt like you were enough - like you just couldn't measure up. You did whatever you could to be useful and to achieve, but you just never felt worthy enough of love. You always wanted closer relationships, but it felt out of your grasp. And, now, you work harder, you do more, and you keep showing up for people, hoping that it will be enough for them to stick around. You have a hard time saying "no," even when you know you need to and you just want to be able to slow down. You yearn for connection, but without all of the strings attached. You want to feel more peace, more fulfillment, and more satisfaction.

If any of this resonates with you, I can help you write the rest of your story.

Offering a mind- body healing approach, designed to support meaningful, lasting change. Healing begins with calming the body and nervous system, creating a sense of and inner peace with oneself.

As old patterns and outdated ways of being begin to release, new and healthier versions take shape—versions rooted in resilience, authenticity, and self-trust.

People are inherently resilient but often feel blocked and discouraged from healing. Discerning how we can be our best selves requires the support of another person who will listen and support us on the journey to discovering our authentic selves. As a result of my own journey, I have learned the keys to healing-willingness, rigorous honesty with self and others, grace, compassion, and unconditional positive regard-are fundamental in the desired transformation. Regardless of the issues, your story matters and there is hope for healing.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is an organic experience that cannot be created elsewhere. My experience has shown me that each of us walks our own path and that no two are the same. Having support while walking your path can be just the thing to make the difference. I strive to provide safety so that you can talk about your life, your family, your pain, and sit in the tension to ultimately begin living more authentically. I work from a holistic approach; given that, we will develop the best course of treatment for your needs, together.

I help Millennial and Gen Z women who struggle with saying no, asking for help, finding time for themselves, and feel guilty or selfish when they consider doing something for them. They often think ‘if I don’t do it, who will?’
My clients first come in feeling like you. Despite being intelligent, supportive, hardworking, and creative, they sometimes feel weighed down with responsibility. They find themselves overworked, tired, underappreciated, and frustrated. It's hard being everyone’s go to person while walking on eggshells to please them and avoid the discomfort of upsetting or disappointing others. Let's grow together!

First of all, congratulations for taking the courageous step of considering counseling! I've been a counselor for 15 years, and love working with every age group. I enjoy helping people who are struggling with anxiety disorders, depression, chronic pain, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or any other condition where managing difficult thoughts and emotions is a primary concern; essentially, individuals who want to learn to accept their internal experiences while actively pursuing a purposeful life aligned with their values.

My mission is to create a safe space for individuals to find healing, freedom, and self-acceptance. I'm LGBTQ+ affirming and passionate about helping my clients regain confidence while beginning to love and trust themselves. I help my clients unlearn negative beliefs and begin to change relationship patterns that no longer serve them. I work well with people pleasers, people who struggle to set boundaries, or people who chronically sacrifice themselves for others. When we are able to know what we need and set limits in our relationships, we enhance our emotional well-being and our relationships become healthier.

The problematic areas I treat often are categorized as depression, anxiety, stress, bipolar, addiction, codependency, and trauma.
Life can be difficult and challenging. We are often taught and develop maladaptive ways of coping just to get by. At some point in our life we could benefit from education and guidance on how to make improvements leading to a healthier more fulfilling life. That is the goal in therapy: to foster healing that leads to balance in one’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This may look different for each client. Some people need to simply be heard, others need to learn and make changes in their present life, and others need to process pain from their past that is still affecting them today.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
