Does the thought of setting a boundary with your family, friend, or partner make your stomach churn? Have you learned that boundaries equal backlash and punishment, and should be avoided at all cost? Maybe you’ve been highly praised for being “flexible and easy to get along with” and “always being a team player” when internally you’re an anxious people-pleaser not wanting to be perceived as rude or ungrateful? Maybe a part of you knows that you need to speak up but you struggle with voicing your opinion or sharing your preferences? Has your perfectionism masked a highly sensitive soul simply seeking acceptance and understanding?
Sound like you? Welcome to the Recovering People-Pleaser club! Deep down, you know something has to change—you want clarity, balance, and the courage to speak up. Together, we'll learn that healthy (but scary!) boundaries DO exist. We'll address that sneaky burnout that's crept up, and you'll learn to rein in that perfectionism into a helpful tool.
If you're ready to take the lead and learn how to set healthy boundaries, quiet that anxious brain, build stronger relationships and friendships, and finally find out how emotionally strong and resilient YOU really are—I invite you to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. You deserve the caring support you've provided to others- email me today!

All the education and training in the world can't make up for a therapist that you can't relate to. My approach is encouraging, humorous, and curious- but I'll also give a healthy dose of reality when you ask. As I get to better understand you, you'll get to understand yourself better too.

We'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll work together to get you out of this funk. You didn't burnout overnight, and recovering from burnout won't happen in a day. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was Syracuse. But if you're motivated to make a meaningful change that will trickle down into other areas of your life, I encourage you to give me a call.
