I am an attachment-focused therapist who works with overwhelmed, anxious adults throughout Michigan who learned early on to manage too much, too soon.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and deeply self-aware. They are often the ones others rely on. The ones who anticipate needs, smooth things over, and keep things functioning.
But underneath that, there is exhaustion.
Overthinking. Over-explaining. Guilt for having needs at all.
This did not come from nowhere.
Most grew up in environments where they had to be more attuned, more responsible, and more self-sufficient than any child should have to be. Whether it looked like emotional inconsistency, unspoken expectations, or learning to read the room, those experiences shaped patterns that still show up today.
I work at the intersection of attachment, nervous system healing, and relational patterns because that is where real change happens.
My approach is slow enough to feel safe, specific enough to create real shifts, and responsive to what you need while still moving the work forward.
This work is not about fixing you.
It is about helping you unlearn the survival patterns you had to develop and build a more grounded, secure relationship with yourself and others.
If something in you recognizes this, you are likely in the right place.
Why This Work Matters to Me
I have long been drawn to understanding how the brain and body shape our relationships.
How attachment forms.
How the nervous system adapts to unpredictability.
How early environments influence how safe it feels to have needs, set boundaries, or trust yourself.
This is not just something I studied. It is something I have spent years paying attention to, both professionally and personally.
Over time, that interest became a clear direction.
I specialize in working with overwhelmed, anxious adults who learned early on to be highly attuned, responsible, and aware of others. This often looks like high functioning competence on the outside, while anxiety, guilt, and hyper-responsibility run underneath.
Much of this traces back to early relational dynamics that were subtle, complex, and often misunderstood.
This work deserves nuance.
It deserves steadiness.
It deserves care.
My Approach
My work is rooted in attachment-focused therapy, nervous system awareness, and ongoing training in holistic, mind-body approaches.
That means we pay attention not only to what you think, but to what happens in your body when you set a boundary. We slow things down. We notice the guilt. We stay with the anxiety. We begin to understand why people-pleasing once felt necessary.
This work is not just about insight. It is about experiencing something different in real time, so change is not something you have to force outside of session.
Together, we gently work through:
Attachment wounds shaped by early relationships
The impact of childhood emotional neglect
Guilt and shame that show up after setting boundaries
Overthinking and rumination
Rebuilding trust in yourself
Therapy with me is steady, relational, and depth-oriented. It is not rushed. It is not surface level. We move at a pace that supports your nervous system while still creating meaningful change.
What the Process Actually Looks Like
The people I work with are ready to show up for themselves, even when it feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar.
This work often continues between sessions. Sometimes that looks like journaling. Sometimes it looks like practicing boundaries. Sometimes it is simply noticing patterns as they are happening.
Change does not come from insight alone. It comes from what you begin to do differently, both inside and outside the therapy room.
Because of that, consistency matters. Engaging in the process matters. Giving yourself the space to grow matters.
If you are ready to invest in steady, meaningful change, we will likely work well together.

What It’s Like to Work Together
You can expect:
A grounded, steady presence
Thoughtful, honest feedback
A space where your experience is understood and makes sense
Support that respects your intelligence and self-awareness
Therapy that balances depth with accountability
You do not need to prove that your childhood was bad enough.
