I specialize in supporting women who have learned to prioritize everyone else’s comfort over their own.

If you have spent your life in caretaking roles within your family and relationships—constantly minimizing your own needs—this practice is a space dedicated to you.

The Eldest Daughter & Chronic Family Fixer

The one who became the hyper-responsible, emotional anchor in their family, and who was expected to take care of everyone else's emotions at the expense of their own.

Many children, particularly girls and eldest daughters, learn early on to suppress their emotions to maintain peace and take care of their family's needs. This teaches young kids that their environment cannot handle them not being okay, and their needs matter less than everyone else's.

If this resonates, you may still be playing this role in your family or relationship, scared that if you let go of this dynamic, crisis will ensue.

In session, examples of things we will work on:

• Re-examining these old family scripts

• Connecting with the part of you that felt forgotten or responsible for everyone else's emotions

• Learning how to confidently set boundaries, especially with your family

• Learning that your feelings are valid and how to ask for what you need

The Family Scapegoat

The one in the family who felt forgotten, misunderstood, or blamed for having an opposing opinion or boundary.

While this role looks different on the surface than the family fixer or eldest daughter, the impact is similar. The scapegoat buried their needs because they internalized the message no one cares—leaving them with a quiet, persistent doubt that anyone would actually meet their needs, even if they asked.

If this resonates, you may be in the habit of minimizing your voice in fear that people will criticize or invalidate you.

In session, examples of things we will work on:

• Re-examining these old family scripts

• Connecting with the part of you that felt forgotten, misunderstood, and/or blamed

• Learning how to confidently set boundaries

• Learning that your feelings are valid and how to ask for what you need, despite the response you may get

• Finding your safe people

The Burned Out Mom

The one who is tired of "doing it all" without complaint, keeping up the illusion of perfection while secretly running on empty and feeling disconnected from themselves.

For centuries, society has labeled women as "natural" caregivers. So, when a woman chooses to have children, her emotions/needs are often minimized because she "chose" this path. They are expected to excel effortlessly, so when they struggle, it feels like a personal failure—while dads are praised for just showing up.

If this resonates, you may be masking your overwhelm, terrified that admitting you are drowning will make you look like a "bad" or "incompetent" mom.

In session, examples of things we will work on:

• Exploring the role(s) you played in your family growing up

• Connecting with the part of you that feels your value is tied to caring for others

• Learning to validate your feelings and how to ask for what you need

• Figuring out practical ways to make more space for yourself

The Woman Starting Over

The one who is navigating life after a dysfunctional or unhealthy relationship—learning to rebuild trust in themselves and others, and rediscovering who they are.

Women who have been in these types of dynamics are often used to walking on eggshells and suppressing their opinions just to avoid conflict.

If this resonates, you may feel completely lost after a breakup or divorce. You might feel relieved that the relationship is over, but unsure how to trust yourself and your intuition, still stuck in the habit of hiding your true feelings.

In sessions, examples of things we will work on:

• Rebuilding trust in yourself

• Feeling more confident about your ability to date again, if you choose to

• Learning how to confidently set boundaries

• Learning to validate your feelings and how to ask for what you need
