Relationships & Boundaries Therapy
In-Person & Online in AZ
You work hard to understand your relationships, but it can feel exhausting and confusing.
Sometimes it feels like you’re replaying every interaction on a loop.
You try to ask for validation and reassurance, and it only helps for a little while.
You worry you’re too much, or not enough. The more deeply you care, the more intense this fear becomes.
You notice shifts and tension way before others do, and you wonder if you’re exaggerating.
You’ve learned to second guess yourself instead of trusting your own limits and needs.
The world often doesn’t feel made for those who have unique brains and ways of processing stimuli and intense emotions. Masking sometimes feels like the only way to navigate the world safely.

What our work together can look like
-
In our life, parts of us develop in order to keep us safe and secure. These parts make sense for our experiences, and they can sometimes show up to protect us from getting hurt.
These parts can look like people pleasing, shutting down, over-analyzing, or dissociating.
These parts of us aren’t flaws. They’re strategies that we’ve leaned on whenever things felt unsafe, especially when secure connection wasn’t accessible.
Understanding this system and meeting those parts with compassion is the first step to showing up more intentionally, rather than feeling hijacked by them.
-
Insight can be helpful as a starting point, but it’s often not enough to cause change.
For a lot of us, we may know why we respond the way we do, but that doesn’t change how our nervous system responds in moments that don’t feel safe.
Learning to sit with these emotions, naming and feeling what’s happening inside is often how change happens.
That’s how we can learn to teach our nervous systems that we’re safe.
That’s when those rigid protective parts of us soften, and can step aside.
That’s when change becomes possible.
-
You begin to rewrite your story, and you start to let go of these negative beliefs around your worth and your needs.
Your capacity for self-compassion increases as you sit with those emotions.
There’s a little more wiggle room, and choices begin to expand when triggers come up.
You get more clear about your truth, your feelings and your experiences. From there, it becomes easier to feel grounded in what you need, and you can bring that into your relationships.
Therapy can help:
Tune out all the outside noise, and tune into your inner voice
Quiet the constant mental chatter and what-ifs
Feel more present and grounded in your daily life
Understand the root causes of your relationship stressors, not just manage symptoms
Feel more aligned with your values
Make sense of the parts of you that come up, and why they’re there
Experience more self-compassion, and feel more safe in your body
Learn to feel grounded in your own truth and experiences, and trust your emotions and needs
My approach to relationship and boundaries therapy
I specialize in working with folks who feel overwhelmed, stuck in their heads, and are often wrestling with identity pieces around their gender, neurodivergence or sexuality. I blend evidence-based tools (like emotionally-focused therapy, EMDR and IFS) with deep, relational work that helps you understand why these patterns and protective strategies exist in the first place.
Together, we’ll create a space that feels supportive and steady—where you don’t have to perform, fix, or mask.
It’s okay if these goals feel overwhelming and out of reach right now. I also hold space for your fears and uncertainty. We can take this one step at a time.
If you have any sensory sensitivities and requests for the therapy space, I also welcome those.
This is the work of becoming whole: honoring who you are without trying to fix it.
Let’s talk and see if therapy might be a good fit for your needs. Reach out today to schedule a consultation.
