Therapy For Adults
Who Had To Grow Up Too Soon
Trauma informed and culturally sensitive care
Have you always been the "responsible one"? The caregiver, the peacekeeper, the mature one, the one who held everything together while your own needs were left behind? I offer trauma-informed, culturally sensitive and relational therapy for adults who grew up too quickly, often due to perhaps well-intentioned but emotionally unavailable caregivers, parentification, or other childhood dynamics that asked too much, too soon. You get to decide what feels true for your experience. There's no pressure to use specific words or reach certain conclusions about your childhood. This is about your healing, at your pace.
​
As someone who experienced firsthand how Western individualistic therapy can fracture collectivistic and non-eurocentric family relationships, I understand that healing must be culturally responsive. Together, we'll find ways to interrupt parentification and other dysfunctional family patterns through collaborative and culturally mindful approaches.
​
Therapy is a place to untangle, reflect, and reconnect with your inner voice - often for the first time in a long time. Specializing in parentification, perfectionism and the lifelong impact of relational trauma, I offer online therapy to help you explore what it means to choose yourself - without guilt. Together, we'll work through the relational wounds, coping patterns, and early roles that shaped you, so you can reconnect with your truth. If you're ready to explore what healing could look like for you, I'm here to walk beside you.

Areas of Expertise
You make sense. The way you think, feel, and respond has roots in your upbringing, in the roles you had to play, and in the ways you learned to adapt and survive. Together, we’ll explore your story with curiosity and care - tending to the parts of you that have been overlooked, overburdened, or misunderstood. We'll make space for new ways of being that honour who you are now.
​
Whether you’re seeking support for long-held wounds or simply feeling lost in the noise of life, I offer a warm and grounded space to explore your experiences and reclaim your inner clarity.
As a trauma informed and culturally sensitive therapist, here are some of my areas of expertise:
Parentification & Early Caregiving Roles
Unpack what it meant to take care of others before yourself, and learn how to come home to your own needs, safely and without guilt
Relational Trauma & Attachment Wounds
We’ll explore how early emotional wounds continue to shape your relationships, and gently build new ways of connecting that feel safe and nourishing.
Anxiety, Depression & Emotional Overwhelm
Whether you feel stuck, numb, or on edge, we’ll work to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with what brings you ease and meaning.
Boundaries, Self-Worth & Identity
Let’s untangle people-pleasing, perfectionism, and internalised shame. Together we'll create space for your voice, your needs, sense of Self and your joy.
Grief, Loss & Life Transitions
Together, you'll learn to hold and honour the tender emotions that arise through endings of people, relationships, roles, or versions of yourself.

What to Expect
I know it starting therapy or working with a new therapist can be a big step into the unknown.
It is my priority that you feel safe and that we move at a pace that is comfortable for you.
