Healing from emotional abuse, trauma, and the relationships that made you question yourself.
About
"Was it really abuse?" "Why do I still feel guilty for setting boundaries?" "Why do I keep ending up in relationships where I lose myself?" If these questions sound familiar, you're not alone. I specialize in helping adults recover from emotional abuse, narcissistic relationships, difficult family dynamics, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds. Many of my clients spent years questioning themselves, minimizing their experiences, and believing they were "too sensitive" or somehow the problem.
Growing up in an emotionally unsafe environment leaves lasting effects. You may struggle with people-pleasing, hyper-independence, anxiety, perfectionism, boundary guilt, or chronic self-doubt. You might feel like you have to earn love by taking care of everyone else. These patterns made sense when you were younger, but they don't have to define you now. Whether you're healing from narcissistic abuse, recovering from a toxic relationship, navigating the effects of an emotionally immature parent, or simply exhausted from carrying everyone else's needs, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself.
I bring nine years of mental health experience to this work, and I'm trained in EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, somatic approaches, and a range of trauma-informed modalities. I work collaboratively with each client, starting by understanding the root of what's driving current patterns, then introducing interventions that address both symptoms and the deeper wounds underneath. Most of my clients start to feel real relief as we progress together.
My approach is warm, direct, and genuinely curious. I believe healing is about finding the version of yourself that never had the chance to feel safe. I offer a free 15-minute consultation, and I have immediate openings for both in-person and online therapy.
