Are you a Type A, driven, and hardworking woman who is quietly unraveling inside? No one sees your high-functioning anxiety or the trauma responses running the show. Your mind never stops, your body is always tense, and even relaxation feels impossible. Praise doesn’t register. You wonder if maybe you have ADHD, depression, or just burnout - but deep down, your intuition knows something’s off. Maybe you grew up having to perform, stay small, or manage other people’s emotions. You’ve tried the walks, journaling, meditations... but your nervous system still feels stuck. You know you need to “love yourself”—you just don’t know how
As an recovering overachieving empath myself, I truly understand how hard it can be to focus on your mental health in today's fast-paced culture. Having worked in a demanding career for a decade prior to becoming a therapist, I specialize in helping intelligent, driven, women with high-functioning anxiety or ADHD slow their intellectualizing brains down
At the end of the day, it's time to get back to basics: set healthy boundaries, stop people pleasing, and learn how to regulate big emotions so that you can actually recharge - even a little bit. If you're not only ready but willing to do the work for real change, I'm here to hold your hand every step of the way. Send me an email to set up a free consult!
