“What’s Wrong with Me?”

You might look like you’re functioning on the outside, but inside it feels different.

Small moments of disconnection hit hard.
Criticism lingers.
Conflict feels overwhelming or emotionally unsafe.
You replay conversations, question yourself, or shut down emotionally — even with people you love.

If relationships feel fragile, work feels high-stakes, or you constantly wonder “What’s wrong with me?” — you’re not broken.
Your nervous system learned to pay close attention to signs of potential rejection.

When Sensitivity, Anxiety, and Relationships Collide

Many of the adults and couples I work with experience:

Rejection sensitivity — feeling deeply impacted by perceived criticism, distance, or disappointment
Relationship distress — cycles of pursuing, withdrawing, escalating, or shutting down
Imposter syndrome — chronic self-doubt, overworking, or fear of being “found out”
Trauma or attachment wounds — often subtle, long-standing, and easy to minimize

These patterns are exhausting. And they’re not a character flaw — they’re adaptive responses shaped by earlier experiences, relational dynamics, and a nervous system trying to protect you.

Therapy isn’t about “toughening up.”
It’s about helping your system feel safer so you can respond instead of react.

Therapy That Goes Beneath the Surface

I offer therapy that helps you understand why these patterns exist — and gently change them at the root.

My work integrates:

- Attachment-Based Therapy to understand relational patterns
- EMDR to process unresolved trauma and emotional injuries
- Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Work to develop trust in yourself and reduce emotional reactivity
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples to repair trust, safety, and connection

This approach is practical, compassionate, and respectful of how your mind and body have learned to cope.
