therapy for the famous adjacent

Being close to fame can be both extraordinary and complicated.

You’re the partner, the sibling, the child, the support system — always adjacent to the spotlight, but rarely centered within it.

 

Whether you’re sharing life with someone admired by millions or navigating relationships where the public gaze constantly intrudes, it can be hard to admit:

 

You don’t always feel seen.

You don’t always feel secure.

And sometimes… you don’t feel enough.

I work with people who are quietly navigating the emotional terrain of being 

next to the person everyone is watching.

 

It’s a unique and often isolating experience — to be deeply connected to someone whose visibility, power, or brilliance can unintentionally cast a long shadow over your own voice, your needs, your identity.

 

You may wrestle with:

  • Feeling invisible in public or even in your own home

  • Questioning your worth outside of the relationship

  • The tension between pride and resentment

  • A pull between loyalty and your own growth

  • Guilt for even having these feelings in the first place

There is room here for your complexity.

 

No comparisons. No shame. Just truth.

 

As a therapist, I offer a confidential, grounded space where you can explore the parts of yourself that have been sidelined or silenced — even unintentionally — in the orbit of someone else’s success.

 

This isn’t about blaming or fixing.

It’s about finding your center, your voice, and your sense of agency again — without needing to shrink, prove, or disappear.

This work is for you if:

  • You’re partnered with a celebrity, creative, or public figure

  • You’re a sibling or family member of someone in the spotlight

  • You often feel pressure to be the calm, grounded one

  • You’re tired of wondering if your needs are “too much”

  • You long for a space where you are the focus — not their fame

In our work together, we can:

  • Unpack the tension between admiration and resentment

  • Heal feelings of unworthiness or self-doubt

  • Reconnect you with your own desires, ambitions, and boundaries

  • Help you feel less alone, even in a life that others might envy

Just because the world doesn’t see you doesn’t mean you aren’t carrying a lot.

You deserve support that centers you.

 

Let’s begin your story — outside of their spotlight.
