Therapy for self-described people-pleasers, over-thinkers, intellectualizers, self-critics, perfectionists, and procrastinators. These patterns are often connected to burnout, anxiety, depression, and low mood. Common struggles include workplace stress, strained relationships, and a critical self-view, often shaped by a fear of failure, conflict, or rejection, reliance on logic over emotion, difficulty setting boundaries, harsh self-talk, challenges recognizing achievements, avoidance, and overwhelm. I understand how exhausting it can be to constantly neglect your own needs and question whether your problems truly deserve support.
I offer therapy that is co-created with you and specifically designed for your needs, rooted in real human connection and trauma-informed care, helping you understand the patterns beneath the struggles that have kept you feeling stuck for far too long. Together, we work to nurture your capacity for greater resilience, increased regulation and lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, and it’s important to know there is no perfect way to begin. Your concerns are important and worth exploring. If you’re interested in learning more about how I help, please schedule a free consultation directly through my online booking page (by clicking "my website") or reach out by email.
