You’ve Built the Life. So Why Does it Feel Like Something is Still Wrong?

Intensives, Personalized Workshops and Extended Sessions for High Achieving Women

You’re the one people come to.

You show up.

You perform.

And behind closed doors, you’re exhausted, numb, and wondering what is wrong with you.

What we call cPTSD, or complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, sounds intense and scary! Many of my clients feel like that’s too dramatic. So instead of that, let’s call it “wounded identity development.”

When we are young, we are developing our identity. We are creating our beliefs about ourselves and the world. For most of us, we aren’t fully able to develop in our family homes.

Instead of calling it cPTSD, I call it “wounded identity development

What does wounded identity development look like in adulthood?

  • You keep achieving but you never feel satisfied for long

  • Your romantic relationships all seem to have the same pattern

  • An ongoing and pervasive sense of “I’m not enough.”

  • Emotionality that is either over-reactive or under-reactive

  • You are overly controlled and highly fear mistakes

  • Substances make you feel ‘normal’

  • You have good relationships but feel lonely or disconnected

  • Good things make you feel guilty

  • You like feeling secretive

  • You don’t trust your instincts

  • Autoimmune or chronic health issues

Therapy- the way you want it

Whether you are coming in to work on your binge eating, trauma, or couples therapy, we will intentionally create a care plan for you that is a combination of what you want AND what I know works.

I specialize in therapy intensives, which are transforming experiences of 6-12 months of therapy in just 1-3 days. The impact is hard to put into words, but it is felt in every moment of our time together.

If you are looking for more than talk therapy and are ready to commit to the incredible work that it takes to change yourself and change your life, I’m ready. You’ve had enough and you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My goal is to get you to a life that you are excited about where you get to show up as the fullest version of you. The version of you who is confident, at ease, and in charge of your life.

Whatever your goal is, we can get you there. I have the tools, resources, information, techniques and support. All I need from you is a growth mindset. Together we will create the change you want for your life.

Do these thoughts sound like you?

  • I’m not good enough

  • I’m not lovable/I don’t deserve love

  • I am weak and powerless

  • I am permanently damaged

  • I don’t belong

  • I’m too much

  • I’m a failure/I’m broken

  • I’m stupid

  • My needs and emotions are a burden

  • I have to perform for love

  • I’m not safe

  • I’m unimportant/insignificant

  • If people knew my secrets they would leave

  • I have to please everyone

  • I should have known better

What our work together will look like:

Because I keep a small case load, you will receive a premium level of care during our sessions.

My goal is to make sure that every session feels like a home-run for you.

Intentional

Keeping a small caseload allows me more time to prep for session so that you know when you walk in, I am ready on all levels for our time together. Outside of session, I am taking trainings, reading, listening to podcasts, and tending to my own energy so that I am always bringing more to the table.

Creative

I want our time together to feel unique and individualized. I pull from different therapy approaches and other activities to best align with what feels most supportive for you. There is room for flexibility and intuitively led choices.

Balanced

I believe in using a blend of active listening and direct conversation. I am fully present in the room and use my energy intentionally so that you feel both supported and challenged towards making the changes that you are wanting to make.

Deep healing and inner work isn’t about losing the parts of you that you love.

You can keep being excellent and treat the perfectionism

You can keep caring a lot about other people and lose the codependency aspect

You can keep your adventurous spirit without feeling like you are running away from something
