You’re the one people rely on—capable, responsible, the “strong one.” You handle it, organize it, push through it… and rarely let anyone see how heavy it feels. Over time, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, or body image/disordered eating can become where the pressure shows up. I work with high-functioning adults who look fine on the outside but feel tense, self-critical, or emotionally alone on the inside. Often the problem isn’t that you’re not coping—it’s that you’ve been coping by over-functioning for a long time.
My approach is relational, attachment-focused, and depth-oriented. We’ll look at the patterns underneath the symptoms: where they started, what they’ve protected, and what they cost you now. Together we build steadier self-trust, clearer boundaries, and relationships where you don’t have to over-function, perform, or carry everything alone.
If you’re tired of being the strong one, a free 15-minute consultation is a good place to start. We’ll talk about what’s been feeling heavy, what you’re hoping will change, and whether working together feels like the right fit

I work with high-functioning adults who are anxious, self-critical, and tired of holding everything together. Many of my clients struggle with relationship patterns, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or food/body concerns that are less about the surface issue and more about control, shame, safety, and self-trust.

My work is relational, depth-oriented, and attachment-based. I integrate Brainspotting when it's a fit, especially when clients feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but can't seem to shift. Therapy is warm, direct, and collaborative—focused on lasting change, not quick fixes.
