How You Might Be Feeling

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many of my clients are high-functioning in their careers but inwardly feel:

  • Constantly on alert, like it’s never fully safe to relax

  • Guilty for slowing down, resting, or saying no

  • Like the one everyone relies on, while secretly burning out

  • Uncomfortable in stillness, unsure how to function without the constant chaos

  • Detached from their own emotions, body, or sense of purpose

  • Like they’re carrying too much alone, unsure how to let go or where to even start

What You’re Hoping Will Change

Many of my clients come to therapy hoping to:

  • Feel more emotionally connected, not just physically present, with themselves and the people they care about.

  • Unhook from work-mode and experience real rest

  • Manage constant worry, nightmares, irritability, low mood, and that overstimulated, on-edge feeling

  • Work through feelings of guilt, numbness, or being stuck in the past

  • Take care of themselves without guilt or resentment

  • Feel like they are living, not just surviving

You’ve spent so long showing up for others. Therapy gives you space to show up for yourself. Together, we’ll work to process what’s weighing you down, restore your nervous system, and help you reconnect with the parts of life that matter most.

Get Started with a Free Consultation

The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. This is a chance for us to get to know each other a little. I will ask a few questions about what is bringing you to therapy, and you will have time to ask anything you would like about how I work.

If it feels like a good match, we can schedule your first session. You will receive access to your secure, HIPAA-compliant client portal, where you can complete paperwork and share anything you would like me to know before we begin.

You’ve spent so much time showing up for others. Let this be the moment you show up for yourself.
