What's My Approach to Therapy?

You are the one who holds it all together. Now, it's time to choose you and break the cycle. You've spent a lifetime being the responsible one, the caregiver, or the "fixer," often at the expense of your own needs. If you find yourself exhausted by burnout, struggling with guilt after saying no, or feeling lost in the wake of complex family dynamics, you've come to the right place. I work with high-achieving individuals, people-pleasers, and cycle breakers ready to heal from parentification, chronic guilt, and the resentment that comes from constantly putting others first. My approach is rooted in the belief that you are the expert of your own life. Healing doesn't mean becoming a new person; it means stripping away the layers of conditioning and shame that prevent you from living authentically.

Collaborative, Trauma-Informed, and Focused on Lasting Change. I offer trauma-informed, culturally attuned therapy with warmth, clarity, and a non-judgmental stance. Our work together is highly collaborative, focusing not just on symptom relief but on uncovering the deeper relational patterns that contribute to your current struggles. We utilize elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to unpack the emotional burdens carried by your "inner child" parts and foster self-compassion, and Attachment Theory to understand how early relational experiences inform your current struggles with boundaries and self-trust. We also incorporate Mindfulness and Somatic Practices to help you step out of overwhelm and process difficult emotions without being consumed by them.

Together, we will work toward concrete goals: learning to set boundaries without shame, moving from people-pleasing dependence to a secure connection with your own intuition, and creating space for the life you truly deserve by breaking generational cycles. You don't have to carry it all anymore, and you certainly don't have to do it alone.

Ready to prioritize your healing? If you're ready to move from exhaustion and guilt to self-worth and authenticity, I invite you to reach out. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today to see if we are a good fit. I offer fully remote telehealth sessions and look forward to hearing your story.
