You take care of everything and everyone around you—ever since you were young.
As far back as you can remember, you’ve always been the one to solve the problem; the one your family members could rely on the most to be “the responsible one,” even when you didn’t want to be.
Now, you’re not only good at solving problems, you excel at it. You’ve made a career out of being a problem solver and it’s served you well. You’re proud of what you’ve built. But, there’s still something inside of you telling you it’s not good enough, that you cannot rest until you meet “Perfection.”
This kind of suffering has become your normal; in fact, it’s so normal you don’t even recognize it as suffering anymore. You feel numb in order to get yourself through the day. If you just keep your emotions under control, everything will be fine.
You’re scared that everyone will abandon you if you say anything.

You are…
→ Struggling with feeling like your needs are too much for others.
→ Scared of losing control.
→ Wishing you could just have “normal” relationships.
→ Feeling cursed with self-awareness.
Here’s What We Can Do Together
Therapy can help you let go of what’s keeping you from feeling happy.
Holistic therapy heals from the inside-out, reshaping your mind and body to live a life free from chronic stress and burnout.
Usually, you’re the one people ask for help, and now it’s you’re turn to be the one to seek it out. My clients are highly motivated to figure out “what’s wrong with them” and to be able to do something about it, rather than just talk in circles about how their week is going. Together, we can dive deep into your patterns of behavior and work so that you feel more comfortable with the idea of changing thoughts and behaviors that may have once been useful, but are no longer serving you.
Being self-critical and motivating yourself through “tough love” probably helped you reach a certain level of success, but now you’re noticing it’s not working anymore. You just feel more and more miserable as time goes on, and it seems as though your life is stuck like this forever.
Our work together will get you unstuck and moving steadily in the direction you want to go.
Therapy can
help you…
-
In therapy, we look at the patterns that keep you overextended and help you build a way of living that doesn’t require constant depletion to function.
-
We pay attention to how your body holds tension and work on helping you actually release it, so you’re not walking around braced all the time without realizing it.
-
Part of our work is helping you shift out of that constant work mode so that rest stops feeling like something you have to force—and starts feeling like something your body can actually receive.
-
Our earliest experiences shape who we are and who we become. We’ll connect the dots between your past and present so destructive patterns feel less automatic and you can learn to have more proactive reactions to your emotions.
-
When you’ve spent your entire life trying to live up to other people’s expectations, it can be hard to know what actually matters to you. Therapy helps you get clear on your values and start making decisions from that place—so your life feels more like living and less like surviving.
FAQs
-
You may have been told “everyone needs therapy,” and while part of that might be true, high-functioning people need a well rounded approach in order for therapy to be helpful. That’s why I take a holistic, practical approach to counseling my clients, so they can actually do something towards their goals rather than just vaguely talk about their feelings.
-
We become weary over time if we’re always having to burn bright. That are many factors that impact burnout and chronic fatigue, and attending therapy can help you sort through what is within control so that you can feel more energetic during your week.
-
My philosophy is that there are no “bad” emotions, but how we act on those emotions can help us or hurt us. Anger is an informative emotion that tells us when we have been wronged or think we have been wronged. Therapy can help you learn to differentiate between anger that is helpful for you, and anger that may be harmful if left unchecked.
Your life can be different.
