I believe therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and honest. I help clients explore how attachment wounds, anxiety, codependency, family dynamics, and complex trauma impact relationships, boundaries, and self-worth. Together, we identify patterns that keep you stuck and build healthier ways of relating, coping, and feeling emotionally secure.

look at where the anxiety, the people pleasing, the overthinking, and the relationship patterns are actually coming from. We'll work on healing from complex family dynamics, learn to set boundaries that stick, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and figure out who you are when you're not in survival mode.

as someone who understood their situation quickly. A lot of them had tried to explain their family, their past, or their patterns to people before and felt like they had to justify it. They say they didn't feel that here.

who are anxious in ways they can't fully explain, who overthink, over-apologize, and feel responsible for everyone around them, and who are trying to discover who they are beyond their symptoms and past diagnoses.

I've seen what it looks like when pain goes unnamed for too long. People adapt around it, work harder, stay smaller, and keep the peace. I wanted to offer something different. A place where you don't have to manage yourself quite so much.

I work with adults across Virginia, Maryland, and DC through secure online sessions, in English and in Spanish. If something here resonated, that's usually a sign. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation, and let's see if we're a good fit.
