Do you feel like your empathy sometimes turns into responsibility for others, leaving you taking on more than your share or struggling to step back without guilt? You might push yourself to show up perfectly, keep the peace, or hold everything together, while feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns. You may want deeper connection but feel unsure how to change things. Whether you are coming in as an individual or a couple, therapy can help you understand these patterns and begin to shift them. I work with teens 16+, college students, adults, and couples navigating relationships, perfectionism, self-esteem, and family dynamics
I offer attachment-based, psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems and Gottman therapy for individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional over-responsibility, conflict and disconnection. Many of my clients report holding it together on the surface but secretly suffering internally in their relationships.
If you want support understanding your relationship patterns, managing anxiety, conflict, people-pleasing, or perfectionism, I offer a free 10-minute consultation. I am currently accepting new tele-health clients. To schedule a consultation you can go to my website, email me or message me here. I am unavailable by phone for consultation requests.
