You’re the one who always shows up. At work, you’re the go-to. The dependable one. The perfectionist. The high-achiever. But lately, something feels off. You’re feel tired, both physically and emotionally. It’s getting harder and harder to focus. You procrastinate, then beat yourself up. You want to rest, but when you finally stop, your mind doesn’t. And even though you know something has to change, you feel totally stuck. You don’t need to hit a breaking point to ask for help. You just need a space where you’re not expected to keep it all together. Therapy can help you intervene before you completely crash.

This isn’t just about talking, it’s about creating real change. Together, we’ll unpack perfectionism, navigate stress/burnout, and build tools to help you rest without guilt. You’ll learn how-to set boundaries that stick, replace unhelpful coping strategies, and reconnect with who you are beyond work. It's about making space for clarity, not just survival.

Finding the right therapist can be tough, that's why I offer a free 15-minute phone consult to see if we’re the right fit. If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely listens and cares about your journey click the ‘Email Me’ button above or give me a call. Let’s take the first step towards making your life feel more aligned and sustainable for you!

EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a type of therapy I use to help you heal from trauma. During our sessions, I'll ask you to think about a traumatic memory while guiding you through bilateral eye movements or tapping. This helps your brain better process the memory, making it less distressing over time. Curious whether this might work for you? Contact me for a free consult!
