I work with adults who grew up feeling unseen, emotionally alone, responsible for others, or never good enough. Many of my clients learned early to manage other people’s emotions, minimize their own needs, or stay quiet to maintain connection. In adulthood this often shows up as guilt, burnout, difficulty knowing what you want, or a persistent sense of shame. My trauma-informed, relational approach focuses on understanding how these patterns developed and helping you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. I help you heal emotional neglect and relational trauma and learn to take up space in your own life. Therapy with me is about helping you reconnect with parts of yourself that had to go quiet in order to survive. Together, we work to loosen patterns of guilt, self-abandonment, and over-responsibility, build emotional safety from the inside out, heal from feeling like "too much" or "not enough," and help you have a different relationship with yourself. My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and empowering. I don’t approach therapy from the question, “What’s wrong with you?” I start with, “What happened—and how did you learn to survive it?" Virtual sessions in MI & OH. If you’re ready to understand your patterns and move toward a steadier, more authentic way of being, I’d be honored to work with you.
