Growing up without emotional attunement teaches your nervous system to stay alert, avoid mistakes, and anticipate rejection. Therapy helps your body unlearn survival mode and feel safe to relax, trust, and be imperfect.
Signs include perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, numbness, fear of conflict, difficulty knowing your needs, and feeling responsible for others’ emotions. If that sounds familiar, therapy can support healing.
Only if you want to. We’ll explore your story gently and at your pace. You never need to relive trauma to heal it — we focus on empowerment, safety, and nervous system balance.
Yes. Research shows online therapy is as effective as in-person care. You’ll receive grounding tools, nervous system regulation skills, and compassionate guidance — from the comfort of home.
Survival strategies kept you safe — we honor them. Now you get to learn new patterns rooted in self-compassion, boundaries, and emotional safety. Healing is possible at any age.
Absolutely. These are common responses to emotional neglect. Together, we’ll build self-trust, reduce fear of mistakes, and create space for rest, pleasure, and authenticity.
Many clients notice shifts in emotional awareness and self-compassion early on. Lasting change happens gradually — step by step — but you won’t walk it alone.
