ACEIP's have Trauma that has no Name

Your Parents Might’ve Missed the “Emotional Maturity” Memo. Let’s Talk About It.

Growing up with emotionally immature or neglectful parents can feel like being cast in a role you never auditioned for—caretaker, peacekeeper, mind-reader, or the “quiet one who doesn’t cause problems.” (Turns out: that was never your job.)
Now, as an adult, you might find yourself constantly second-guessing your worth, struggling to set boundaries (especially with family), or feeling like you’re always chasing love that feels just out of reach. Sound familiar?
You’re not broken—you were shaped by an environment that didn’t meet your emotional needs. That’s where therapy comes in.
In my practice, I specialize in working with adult children of emotionally immature parents. Together, we’ll:
​
  • Decode the emotional chaos of your childhood


  • Identify the insecure attachment patterns keeping you stuck in unsatisfying relationships


  • Challenge those deeply ingrained “I’m not good enough” beliefs


  • Build up your self-worth


  • Learn how to say “no” without spiraling into guilt or needing a nap afterward


This work is deep—but it doesn’t have to be grim. We’ll make room for humor, honesty, and a little sigh of relief that someone finally gets it.
You don’t have to keep playing the same old roles. Therapy can help you rewrite the script.

Let’s get started. Reach out today—I promise not to ask how your mother is (unless you want to talk about it).
