Our caregivers play a huge role in shaping who we become. They are often our first and most significant relationships, and from them, we learn how to navigate the world, build self-esteem, and form connections with others. But the truth is, none of us make it through childhood unscathed. Even in the most loving families mistakes are made and unintentional negative messages can stick with us into our adult lives. As a psychologist, I help individuals finally work through and heal from these early experiences.
If You Struggle With:
Feeling insecure in your relationships
Persistent self-doubt
Believing you aren’t “good enough"
Therapy Can Be Incredibly Powerful To:
Feel more confident in yourself and your decisions
Have clarity in your relationships
Learn how to cope with difficult people in your life
Help you stop hustling for your worth
For some of us, the emotional wounds from childhood are even more significant, especially when one or both parents were emotionally unavailable. What is emotional neglect? How can I have emotional neglect when my parents provided for all of my needs? Emotional unavailability can come from various circumstances—whether it’s due to substance use, mental health issues, or simply being too caught up in their own lives. Growing up with emotionally unavailable parents can leave you feeling insecure in your relationships, doubting your worth, or lacking a strong sense of your own identity.
As a therapist specializing in working with adult children of emotionally unavailable or dysfunctional families, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore the patterns that have shaped your life. Together, we can explore the emotional effects of your childhood and how they continue to influence your relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Through therapy, we can work to untangle these patterns, helping you form a stronger sense of self and more fulfilling relationships.
