Do you find yourself shrinking to make others comfortable? Editing your opinions, your needs, even your plans — just to keep the peace? Maybe you've spent years measuring yourself against a beauty standard that was never built for your body. Or maybe you don't recognize who you are anymore inside your relationship, because so much of you has been given away trying to be enough for someone else.

I am genuinely invested in your growth — helping you build real confidence, not just coping mechanisms.

Self-esteem and body image work is where I spend most of my time with clients. Growing up in a bigger body, in a culture with its own narrow beauty standards, leaves a mark that doesn't just disappear with age. So much of what shows up in dating and relationships — anxiety about being "too much" or "not enough," fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, settling for less than you deserve — usually comes back to how you see yourself, not just who you're dating.

Losing yourself in a relationship is more common than you think. Constantly accommodating, over-giving, becoming the "martyr" who sacrifices their own needs to keep everyone else happy — it often doesn't register as a problem until you're standing at the edge of a breakup, wondering when you disappeared. I help clients recognize these patterns before they cost another relationship, not just after.

Dating app burnout isn't something you're imagining. Getting ghosted after great conversations. Matches who disappear without explanation. Mean or dismissive comments that chip away at your self-worth. If dating apps have started to feel like a part-time job with no benefits, I help you process that fatigue, protect your self-esteem, and figure out what you actually want — without giving up on connection altogether.

Relationship struggles don't only show up after things end — sometimes the hardest work happens while you're still in it. This isn't just about romantic partners. It's about the friend you're afraid to set a boundary with. The parent or sibling whose approval you're still chasing. The partner you've stopped being honest with because keeping the peace feels safer than being fully yourself. I help you work through what's actually happening in these relationships — not just cope with it — so you can show up as your full self instead of a performance meant to keep everyone comfortable.

Trying to repair a relationship, deciding if it's even worth repairing, or just tired of watching yourself play the same role over and over, whatever it is, I'll help you figure out where you stand and what you actually want to do about it. In our work together, we'll set boundaries, catch unhealthy patterns before they take root, communicate what you need without over-explaining yourself, and stop the shrinking. You deserve relationships where you don't have to perform to be loved.
