Growing up in a family where emotional needs were unmet, neglect was the norm, or overwhelming responsibilities fell on your shoulders can leave invisible scars that follow you into adulthood. These experiences often shape how you navigate relationships, how you see yourself, and how you respond to the challenges life presents.
 
Perhaps you find yourself caught in cycles of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. Maybe you struggle to set boundaries, prioritize your own needs, or feel like you’re constantly seeking validation but never quite finding it.
​
These patterns don’t mean something is inherently wrong with you—they’re often the natural result of surviving a childhood that required you to suppress your needs to meet the demands of others. But what helped you survive then may be holding you back now. Therapy offers a compassionate space to explore these wounds, understand their impact, and begin the process of healing.
​
In our work together, we’ll uncover the root causes of these struggles, often tied to family dynamics, unresolved emotional pain, or learned patterns of behavior. Through evidence-based and personalized approaches, I’ll help you identify how these early experiences continue to shape your present. Whether you’re healing from emotional neglect, the burden of parentification, or chaotic family dynamics, therapy provides tools to break free from old cycles and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
​
Healing these wounds isn’t just about addressing the past—it’s about transforming it. Together, we’ll work to reframe the beliefs and habits that no longer serve you, replacing them with healthier, more empowering ways to navigate the world. You’ll learn to set boundaries without guilt, embrace your needs without shame, and build relationships that feel balanced and supportive.
​
Many adult children of complex childhoods come to therapy feeling weighed down by guilt, shame, or a persistent sense of “not being enough.” Others struggle with anxiety, depression, or patterns of self-sacrifice that make life feel overwhelming. No matter your story, this process is about rediscovering who you are beneath those layers of pain and finding the strength to step into your own potential.
