You’ve done everything you were ‘supposed’ to achieve, adapted, kept the peace, and still, something feels off. You’ve learned to hold it all together: stay composed, meet expectations, anticipate everyone else’s needs. But inside, it’s a cycle of overthinking, anxiety, shame, or total shutdown. You're exhausted from managing everyone else’s emotions while ignoring your own. I work with adults who grew up with emotionally immature, neglectful, or narcissistic parents,often becoming the caretaker or “fixer.” Many now struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, high-functioning anxiety, OCD traits, addiction, burnout, or self-doubt.

I work with adults who grew up with emotionally immature, neglectful, or narcissistic parents,often becoming the caretaker or “fixer.” Many now struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, high-functioning anxiety, OCD traits, addiction, burnout, or self-doubt. If you’re neurodivergent or suspect you might be, masking and emotional overwhelm may also play a role. Therapy with me isn’t about checklists or generic advice. It’s about real connection and personalized support. I help adults, including professionals, parents, and those exploring neurodivergence, who want more than surface-level coping tools. I offer both weekly therapy and 1–3 day therapy intensives for trauma, anxiety, and substance use. I offer therapy intensives for people who want to go deeper, heal faster, and finally get unstuck.
