About
“What is that person thinking about me?” “Did I just reveal that I’m not as smart as they thought?” "What if they don’t like me?" It's exhausting when you feel like you have to please everyone. You are battling a mean inner critic, creating an ever-present fear of messing up. You’re a perfectionist and attempting to get everything right all the time is draining. You’ve tried to change, but you still find yourself seeking approval and failing to set boundaries. There has to be a way to release the weight of everyone else’s expectations–a way to trust yourself. I am sex/kink affirming, gender affirming, and ND affirming. I specialize in individual and couples therapy, utilizing IFS, The Gottman Method, attachment-theory, and mindfulness. I help clients recognize the impact of events from childhood on current emotional needs. I also provide support in building communication and emotion regulation skills.
