Do you feel like you've always been the caretaker, even as a child? Constantly putting others first, you may feel burned out, anxious, or struggle with guilt when setting boundaries. You might feel responsible for others' emotions or find yourself in codependent relationships. I specialize in helping those who’ve experienced parentification—taking on adult roles too early—heal from the invisible burdens of their past. Together, we’ll break free from these cycles, establish healthy boundaries, and reclaim your life. It’s time to prioritize yourself and rediscover who you are outside of the caretaker role.
I understand how deeply parentification impacts your life. In therapy, we’ll explore how early roles you took on affect your current relationships. Through compassionate listening and practical tools, I’ll help you set boundaries, release guilt, and reconnect with your own needs—so you can break free from old patterns and live authentically.
You’ll feel relief as you start setting boundaries and prioritizing yourself. Together, we’ll break the cycle of parentification, helping you feel empowered and less burdened. I’m here to guide your healing. Ready to take the next step? Book a free consultation today, and let’s begin your journey to freedom and self-discovery!
