You reread a text nine times before sending it. You miss someone who treated you badly. You wonder why you can't just move on. I help with anxious attachment, self-worth, breakups and relational grief, and healing from narcissistic abuse. I have 15 years of experience, and I coined the term Cardboard Cutout Syndrome: grieving the version of someone, or the life with them, that you built in your head.

I am warm and direct, and I will tell you what I see. You do not have to have it figured out. You may be rereading old texts, unable to stop thinking about someone, or hearing a voice that says you are too much. I do not do couples therapy, so this space is just yours.

We work on feeling steadier in relationships, trusting yourself again, and grieving what you lost. I focus on anxious attachment, self-worth, breakups and relational grief, and healing after narcissistic abuse. I use Narrative Therapy and mindfulness to help you see what you keep doing and why, and how to change it.

Reaching out for therapy often means you've been holding it together on your own for too long. You deserve a space where you can be honest about what's really going on, start to trust yourself again, and build relationships that don't cost you your sense of self. When you're ready, I'm here.

We don't do typical intakes. Your first session will feel like a regular follow-up, as if we've already been working together for months. Afterward, I'll email you treatment plan recommendations along with assignments you can choose to work on or not.
