Therapists in K1C
You’re getting through the day, getting everything done and probably look like you’re handling it all. But underneath, you’re exhausted. Maybe you’re the person everyone relies on... the helper, the caretaker, the one who keeps showing up even when you have very little left to give. You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, resentful or unsure of who you are outside of the roles you’ve been carrying. I understand this experience personally. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in the education system and experienced firsthand the toll that chronic stress, feeling unsupported and putting your own needs last can take.

You’re a Millennial or Gen Z woman who has done everything to hold it all together yet still find yourself in relationships that leave you feeling invisible, disconnected, or stuck, you’re not alone. Maybe life has felt unpredictable or overwhelming, or perhaps you appear composed on the outside while inside it’s a different story. You just can't help but shake that feeling of anxiety, tension, or self worry quietly following you everywhere. Perhaps you keep finding yourself in frustrating and repetitive patterns in relationships, at work, or in life and aren’t sure why.

I work with clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or family conflicts. What brings them to my practice is often a feeling of daily burnout, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck in old relational patterns while facing a major life transition. Drawing on a strong clinical foundation in social work, I help individual adults move forward using an insight-oriented, psychodynamic approach. Together, we uncover root patterns, establish healthier boundaries, and develop practical coping skills in a space that is warmly inviting.

We all confront difficult challenges in life. We all go through times when our deepest fears and insecurities surface and consume our thoughts and actions, while our strengths and values fade out of focus and out of reach. We may be flooded with unwanted and worrisome thoughts; experience intense negative emotions; feel lonely and isolated from others, become increasingly unmotivated and unproductive; and develop difficulties sleeping, concentrating, and finding fulfillment in life. If you are going through a period of suffering, this is part of what makes you human.

You check the boxes of success, but underneath the surface, you are exhausted. You might call it severe burnout, perfectionism or the stress of your career, but your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. You are constantly bracing for the next shoe to drop, struggling to turn off your brain at night, or feeling disconnected from the people around you. It feels like you are at war with yourself: one part desperately wants relief, while another demands you work harder just to feel safe. You do not have to keep white-knuckling through your daily life while hiding how overwhelmed you truly feel behind a capable exterior.

You're not just stressed — you're worn down from functioning in survival mode. You may look fine on the outside, but inside you feel on edge, shut down, or emotionally flat.
You've likely tried therapy or self-help already and are frustrated that understanding hasn't changed how your body reacts.
What makes this different: I'm both a therapist and a Registered Practical Nurse. I understand how chronic stress shows up physically — in your sleep, digestion, immune system, and pain levels. We work with your whole system, not just your thoughts.
