Feeling overwhelmed and undervalued in life is a common struggle when boundaries are unclear or constantly crossed. The good news is, this cycle can be broken. By acknowledging and addressing the root causes of your boundary challenges, you can embark on a journey of healing and empowerment. As you learn to assert your needs, set healthy limits, and prioritize self-respect, you'll reclaim control of your life and rediscover your worth.

What My Clients Are Saying:

  • "I am so much stronger than I ever was!!"

    β€œI now am not scared to speak up, to set boundaries and I'm able to express myself without any fear. This hasn't only changed me internally but it has changed my entire life. Those close to me now know I WILL speak my mind, I WILL tell them what is right and what is wrong and so far I'm no longer disregarded or talked down to because I will speak back.”

  • "I am able to set healthy boundaries in all aspects of my life personal and professional."

    β€œOverall I feel like I know myself so much better and I can embrace the person I am and be okay with not fitting into social constructs of what is normal and also social pressures. I can also identify and actually feel my feelings now something that I could not before. I had this idea that it was not okay to feel or show any feelings that were not positive.”

  • "You create a safe and welcoming space."

    β€œMy life is very different from what it was before, I am calmer, more present, more confident, and more understanding. I prioritize my dreams and health more than I have in the past. I love that I can now separate myself from certain situations because I’ve learned how to set some boundaries and have become more comfortable with doing so. Therapy has also helped me better understand my emotions as well as others.β€œ

  • "Since we have worked together, my life has completely changed"

    β€œSince we have worked together, my life has completely changed! Two years ago I struggled to get out of bed every day, but now I am genuinely happy and living all by myself in a brand-new city. I have learned many new skills, but the ones that stick out the most to me have been how to manage and work through my anxiety, set important boundaries, and how to communicate better with those in my life about how I'm feeling.”

My Approach

I strongly believe that YOU are the expert on you, which means, our work together will be collaborative. I will use evidence-based practices, such as eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Attachment-Based Therapy, Inner Child Work, and Reparenting techniques.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel empowered to process the tough stuff and also the victories you will experience while on your healing journey.
