Virtual Therapy Across California

Ever wonder… When is it going to be my turn?

You long to be loved and nurtured for who you are, not what you do. But life taught you that being good, easy, and responsible was how you earned love and belonging.

So you keep proving your worth, over and over, pushing yourself to do more, be better. Sometimes it works — you get to rest on your laurels, for about five minutes. Then your inner critic kicks back in, and you're back on the hamster wheel.

If this resonates, I'm glad you're here

I love helping my clients let go of people-pleasing and codependency.

Together we can dive deep, so you understand how you came to believe that love has to be earned.

More than understanding, I will show you how to listen inward instead of dismissing or ignoring your feelings and needs, set boundaries to protect your peace, and show yourself that you are worth cherishing.

Who I Work With

People who want to learn new skills and work with a therapist who is interactive, collaborative, and real.

You want to dive deep and rewire your brain — not talk endlessly about the same stuff. You want a therapist who's experienced, skilled, warm, and real.

We're likely a good fit if:

You're ready to let go of people-pleasing and codependent patterns — and the guilt, anxiety, and resentment that come with them.
You want to develop real skills — like setting effective boundaries, even if that means taking some gentle risks.
You want to feel genuine warmth and care toward yourself, not just go through the motions of self-care.

Areas I work with

Tap a topic to learn more.

People pleasing

Imagine changing the deeply rooted belief that love and belonging must be earned by never disappointing or burdening anyone.

Codependency

Imagine learning to give yourself the care and support you long for instead of nurturing others in the hope they will respond in kind. Imagine knowing in your bones that your worth doesn't depend on whether that care comes from someone else or from yourself.

Social anxiety / feeling good enough

Imagine feeling warmth and curiosity when you meet people instead of wondering what they think of you — and knowing that if someone is judgy, you can just walk away.

Confidence development

Imagine feeling comfortable with all of your imperfections, knowing it's okay to be a learning, growing human — and letting go of the belief that you have to be above reproach to have a place at the table.

Boundary setting & healthy communication

Imagine expressing your limits, needs, and wishes with ease and grace instead of getting stuck in guilt, over-explaining, justifying, shaming, or blaming.

Career change

Imagine finding or creating joyful work aligned with your values and purpose, not just your ability to perform.

Inner critic work & self-esteem

Imagine feeling deeply secure in your bones, knowing that you always have your own back, and that it's truly okay to be exactly who you are.
