​

Many of my clients were raised by emotionally-immature parents and now struggle with heightened anxiety and hypervigilance, feeling shut down or highly anxious in relationships, or feeling as though they are "too much" or "not enough". Many are ADHDers, autistic, feel the world and their emotions intensely and are deeply impacted by their experiences of the world, others, and what happens in their own physical bodies and minds.  Some have experienced emotional neglect or other forms of developmental trauma as children and are "high-achievers" or "people pleasers". Some are also parenting children and are trying their damnedest to be the parents they wish they would have had. People come to me with the hope of having healthier relationships, standing up for themselves better, feeling less overwhelmed with parenting, but don't know where to start or haven't been able to do it on their own. That's where I come in.
