How i can help
Together we can work towards making sense of and resolving some of your most distressing feelings and patterns that are a result of experiencing emotional neglect. This is a type of trauma that often goes unrecognized. A goal of this therapy is to create a space for you to be seen and heard. As a result gaining the confidence in allowing others to see you as well. It's time to build the lasting, meaningful relationships you deserve, starting with yourself.​​
Anxiety
Together we can work through the type of anxiety that most people recognize: nervousness, anxiousness, feeling on-edge, as well as the feelings and behaviors of anxiety that come from our upbringing: second-guessing ourselves, seeking reassurance, fear of 'doing something wrong', and the fear of being alone.
People Pleasing
This is a common behavior stemming from a child who was made to feel that they need to attune to their parents wants and needs, instead of the parent attuning to theirs. We will focus on identifying what your own values and needs are now, and work towards healing some of those early wounds. Your human worth is independent of the externals.
Self-doubt
When you are used to putting others needs ahead of your own, and doing what others want/expect, having to make a decision on your own can feel overwhelming. A common theme is the fear of making the "wrong decision" and not trusting in your own judgement. We will work towards you tapping into your internal resources and insights, where you can learn to trust your own decisions.

Hello, and thanks for taking the time to check out my site! If you've gotten this far maybe some of the things above have resonated with you?​ Or maybe you are just starting your search for a 'good fit' therapist to help you address some of the stressors that come with the territory of being human, like relationship struggles and life transitions.

I'm passionate about helping adults understand and resolve some of the painful, and often confusing feelings that are a result of childhood emotional neglect. This is something that often gets overlooked or is unheard of, but when you can acknowledge and understand the origins of some of your own feelings and behaviors, it can be validating and the beginning of your healing journey towards uncovering your True, Authentic Self.
