At Catalyst Therapy & Consulting, I help adult children of emotionally immature parents heal from anxiety, self-doubt, family patterns, or painful relationships.
Together, we’ll create lasting relief helping you feel calmer, more confident, and more connected in your life and relationships.

Anxiety and chronic stress

Together, we’ll create a path forward that’s practical and effective. You can expect to:
- Calm racing thoughts and interrupt overthinking
- Let go of tension and reset your nervous system
- Stay grounded, even in challenging moments

What I Help With
Anxiety and Stress
Constantly overthinking, replaying conversations, or unable to relax? Break free from the overwhelm and anxiety others can’t see as we help you to ease your tension and calm your mind.
Relationship & Family Conflict
Anxious, drained, or walking on eggshells because of a difficult, emotionally immature, or critical relationship? Make sense of the confusion, shed roles you’ve outgrown, and find peace despite unpredictability, chaos, or drama.
Healing from Narcissistic Relationships
Has a toxic or manipulative relationship has shaken your sense of self? Validate your experience, rebuild your self-trust, set boundaries without guilt, and develop more fulfilling connections.
Parenting Support for Cycle Breakers
You want to parent differently than what you experienced. Explore the dynamics you grew up with or worries you have now, and understand how it might impact your parenting today. Together, we’ll shift patterns and find practical strategies that foster calm, connection, and resilience for you and your children.
Personal & Professional Growth
Ready to stop feeling held back by past experiences or fears? Let’s work together to challenge old limits and unlock your creativity, confidence, and potential. Find a renewed sense of energy and empowerment as you create a life that reflects your values, strengths, and authentic self.
