You’re used to being the one who holds things together. The one people count on, the one who manages, who adapts, who keeps things moving. From the outside, you probably look like you’re doing fine. But underneath, something feels off. You might be exhausted from giving more than you’re getting back, stuck in the same relationship dynamics, or unsure how you ended up so far from the version of yourself you actually want to be.

A lot of the people I work with are navigating complicated relationships. With a partner, an ex, a parent, or within themselves. They struggle with boundaries, overthinking, people-pleasing, or the feeling that they’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way. Sometimes there’s a clear reason they’re reaching out. Other times it’s more of a sense that something isn’t right anymore, even if they can’t name exactly what it is.

I specialize in the messy, real-life parts of relationships that don’t fit neatly into categories. Separation and divorce. Co-parenting with a difficult ex. Blended family stress. Healing from emotional or narcissistic abuse while still managing ongoing dynamics with that person. Postpartum identity shifts. The slow erosion that happens when you’ve been over-explaining, second-guessing, and tolerating more than you want to for a long time.

My approach is both insight-oriented and practical. We take the time to understand where your patterns come from and how they’ve been protective. And then we work on what’s actually within your control: communicating differently, setting boundaries in a way that feels doable, and responding to real-time situations without getting pulled back into old loops.

I show up as a real person in sessions. I’ll ask questions, reflect patterns, and gently challenge when needed, but always in a way that feels grounded, not overwhelming. A lot of clients tell me they feel like they can finally exhale in sessions. That’s always the goal: a space where you can just be yourself so we can actually get to what matters.

The goal is real, meaningful change that holds up in your day-to-day life. Not just insight for its own sake. Not just coping. Actual shifts in how you show up in your relationships and for yourself.
