If you grew up feeling unseen, unheard, or unsure of your own worth, therapy can help you reconnect with who you are and learn to trust yourself again. Dr. McBride’s 5-Step Recovery Model has been a meaningful part of both my personal healing and clinical work with adults raised by narcissistic or emotionally immature parents. The model provides a clear and compassionate path for grieving unmet needs, strengthening boundaries, and reclaiming a grounded sense of self. Many clients also find Dr. McBride’s book, “Will I Ever Be Good Enough?”, deeply validating as they navigate this recovery process.
I am passionate about supporting adults in healing from the impacts of emotionally neglectful or narcissistic parenting, recognizing how far-reaching and isolating these experiences often are. Being part of the WIEBGE therapist registry allows me to connect with people seeking guidance from a clinician who truly understands these challenges and can offer a structured, thoughtful framework for healing.
Many clients come to therapy feeling anxious, inadequate, depressed, or uncertain of themselves because their emotional needs were overlooked or minimized in childhood. I help adults understand how early attachment experiences influence the way they relate to themselves and others. In our work together, we explore these patterns, honor the strategies that once helped you survive, and create space to reconnect with your authentic self. I support clients in strengthening boundaries, trusting their intuition, and building a more secure and empowered sense of self.
My approach is warm, supportive, and practical, using trauma-informed methods tailored to your individual needs. I strive to make therapy a space where meaningful, deeper work can happen alongside moments of lightness and humor, helping clients feel seen, safe, and fully engaged in their healing. I offer in-person sessions in Danville, California, as well as video or phone sessions across California and Hawaii. As an out-of-network provider, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
