Therapy For Women
Your emotions and needs DO NOT make you “too much.”
EMDR Therapy | Somatic Therapy | Hypnosis | Parts Work
I help women who fear being “too much,” people-please, silence their needs, or lose themselves in dating and relationships feel secure, confident, and worthy—so they can speak their truth, set boundaries without guilt, and experience love that is safe, reciprocal, and emotionally available.
“The self-abandonment trap”…
So many women (just like you) are exhausted from people-pleasing and over-giving — in dating, relationships, and in the workplace — all because you're terrified of feeling like too much. You hold back your true thoughts and feelings, shrink yourself to fit what others expect, and constantly apologize for having needs or opinions. You might even stay in relationships that don't feel safe enough for you to express your needs, wondering if you should leave but feeling too afraid of being alone or causing conflict.
The cost?
Losing yourself in the process. Because every time you self-abandon to avoid feeling like too much, you are telling your body and mind: "My needs don't matter."
And you cannot manifest your dream life, healthy love, or true confidence if you're still abandoning yourself. It's when you finally stop doing so that everything changes.
That alignment starts with you choosing you first.
The weight of feeling like “too much” …
You're exhausted from the constant questioning: "Am I too much?"
Whether it's in dating, at work, with family, or in friendships, you find yourself people-pleasing, silencing your needs, and slowly losing yourself to keep the peace.
You say yes when you want to say no, apologize for having boundaries, and shrink your dreams to fit what others expect.
You're tired of walking on eggshells in your own life, wondering if anyone will ever see and love the real you beneath all the self-editing and accommodation. This cycle of self-doubt shows up everywhere - in your career, your friendships, your family dynamics, and yes, in your romantic relationships.
It's exhausting, and you're ready for something different.
The freedom of your authentic self…
Imagine waking up feeling grounded in your worth, not needing anyone else's validation to know you're enough.
Picture yourself speaking your truth with confidence, setting boundaries that feel good, not guilty.
Enjoying all your relationships where you can be your full, authentic self without fear of rejection.
That free, light feeling when you stop apologizing for having needs and start honoring them. The relief of no longer walking on eggshells in your own life.
This isn't about becoming someone else - it's about finally letting the real you emerge, the one you've been silencing for far too long.
This transformation happens from the bottom up through somatics that release the tension held in your body from years of trauma and stress, parts work that specifically heals the inner conflicts and protector parts that keep you stuck, EMDR that processes the old wounds still triggering you, and hypnosis that reprograms the limiting beliefs running on autopilot.
We'll also help you gain clarity on whether your current relationship provides the safety and support you need to grow, or if it's time to create space for relationships that truly honor your worth.
The life you were born to live…
No matter where you are in your journey - whether you're navigating dating, building your career, improving family dynamics, or strengthening friendships - this work creates the foundation for relationships and experiences that actually nourish you.
You'll learn to recognize and honor your authentic needs in all areas of life, create clear boundaries without guilt, and attract people who are emotionally available and reciprocate your energy.
Together, we'll help you build the confidence to speak your truth and set boundaries in real-life situations across all your connections, giving you practical tools to navigate work, family, friendships, and romantic relationships with security and self-trust.
The fulfilling life you've been waiting for becomes possible when you first build that secure foundation within yourself.
Why Working with Me is Different
This isn't your standard surface-level talk therapy that just helps you understand your patterns. I'm not the kind of therapist who will let you stay comfortable in the same "too much" fear and people-pleasing cycles that keep you stuck.
I'll reflect back what you might not want to see — with compassion and clarity — and walk beside you as you release the roles, wounds, and stories that keep you silencing your needs and shrinking yourself.
Here's what changes when we work together:
You'll finally break free from the exhausting habits that keep you chasing love and approval instead of receiving it.
You'll learn to trust yourself so deeply that saying "no" feels natural, not guilty.
You'll feel safe in your body instead of constantly wondering if you're "too much."
You'll create relationships — romantic, platonic, and professional — where you're met, seen, and deeply respected for exactly who you are, not who you think you need to be.
This isn't about coping mechanisms or temporary fixes. It's about coming home to yourself — setting boundaries without guilt, feeling confident in your skin, and choosing relationships and environments that honor the real you.
You'll feel deeply supported and lovingly challenged — because true transformation doesn't happen in your comfort zone. It happens when you stop chasing love, approval, or worthiness and start standing firmly in your own sovereignty.
We don't just talk about your "too much" fear — we heal it at the root. Using a powerful blend of EMDR, hypnosis, parts work, and somatic healing, we rewire the patterns at the nervous system and subconscious level, strengthening your felt sense of worth so you can show up fully in every area of your life.
ADone with people-pleasing, overgiving, and silencing your truth? Are you finally ready to choose yourself, speak your power, and stand in the sovereignty that’s always been yours?
