I know how hard you work to keep everyone around you happy, how drained you are by your own standards of perfection and how tired you are of pulling everyone else’s weight. I see you replaying conversations in your head, monitoring people’s moods, re-reading text messages, wondering whether you said too much, did too much, are too much. My clients are deep feelers, high achievers, caretakers, and cycle-breakers. Many of you present to the world as having everything figured out, but your inner world speaks a different story — you’re exhausted and overwhelmed and you don’t know how to do life differently.
In my 10+ years of clinical experience, I’ve worked with individuals and couples navigating these exact challenges. My approach combines insight with practical tools to help navigate conflict with confidence, set boundaries, express your needs, tend to your body and stay grounded in your own experience rather than hyper-fixating on others.
We’ll explore how early relationships shaped your patterns and how to shift them so you can feel more empowered, authentic, and fulfilled. I don’t do cold, clinical, or cookie-cutter therapy and I am not here to pathologize you — I am here to help you feel seen, safe, and supported as you learn new ways of being.
