Many people who come to therapy are used to being the dependable one, the person others rely on, the one who keeps things together, avoids conflict, and puts their own needs last. Over time, that pattern can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted and disconnected from yourself. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, self-worth, burnout, relationship stress, and difficult family or cultural dynamics.

Life has a way of making us feel like we're "too much" or "not enough", especially when navigating neurodivergence, trauma, or the complexities of modern relationships.
