Do you feel like your childhood still shapes your closest relationships?

You’ve done the work, maybe you’ve built a career, a partnership, or a life that looks stable from the outside. But behind the scenes, something doesn’t feel quite right.

You find yourself apologizing too much, worry you’re either too much or not enough.
You often feel guilty just for needing space, or scared you’ll repeat the same patterns with your own children. Maybe even in your closest relationships, you feel invisible and can’t break away from putting others first. You do all this, and still feel unlovable. Boundaries are almost nonexistent in your life since you cannot face the guilt. 

Maybe you're trying to fix things with your family… or maybe you’re thinking about stepping away, and feeling overwhelmed with guilt or judgment either way.

Whatever you're carrying, you're not broken.
These are the echoes of unmet needs, not a reflection of your worth.
And you don’t have to keep navigating it alone.

how i can help

I’m here to help you rebuild from the inside out.

Help you process and grieve the emotional neglect or abuse you experienced, so you no longer carry the burden of unmet needs alone.

Uncover the roots of relationship patterns, like people-pleasing, self-doubt, or fear of abandonment, and gently shift them toward self-trust and connection.

Guide you through reparenting your inner child, learning how to offer yourself the emotional care, safety, and validation your caregivers couldn’t provide.

Support you in navigating boundaries with family, whether you're trying to repair a strained relationship or step away with less guilt and more clarity.

Help you build emotional resilience and self-worth, so you can show up more fully in your relationships, and feel more confident in how you’ll parent, love, or lead moving forward.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

You can feel grounded, whole, and more at peace in your relationships. You can trust yourself, speak your truth without guilt, and feel safe enough to love fully. You can become the emotionally attuned adult, partner, friend, and parent, you always needed.

FAQs:

  • Emotional neglect happens when your emotional needs were ignored, dismissed, or minimized during childhood. It’s often invisible, there may have been no obvious abuse, but you were left feeling unseen, unheard, or alone. If you struggle with self-worth, difficulty identifying your feelings, or people-pleasing, emotional neglect could be part of your story.

  • Emotionally immature parents often lack empathy, struggle with emotional regulation, and place their own needs above their child’s. They may have been unavailable, reactive, overly critical, or dependent on you for their emotional wellbeing. Their behavior can leave lasting confusion and shame, even into adulthood.

  • Guilt is common, and deeply human. Therapy can help you explore this guilt compassionately while giving you permission to prioritize your emotional safety. You can learn to make empowered choices around boundaries and contact, without abandoning yourself in the process.

  • Yes. Reparenting your inner child involves learning to care for yourself in the ways your caregivers couldn't. In therapy, we’ll identify your unmet needs, validate your early experiences, and help you build a more nurturing internal voice so you can become the loving, grounded adult your younger self needed.

  • Healing deep-rooted trauma is not linear or rushed, but even early sessions can bring insight and relief. Together, we’ll pace the work so that it feels safe, steady, and sustainable.

  • If you resonate with feeling not enough, unlovable, anxious in relationships, or worried about how you’ll show up for your own children, this work could be profoundly healing. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where your story is honored, and where change is possible.
