therapy

You have been an emotional support system for your friends and family for as long as you can remember.  Perhaps you were called an “old soul” when you were younger, a reflection of your deep empathy and insight, yet this strength has also left you feeling isolated and invisible when it comes to your own needs. Throughout your life, you have found yourself striving for perfection, feeling the weight of expectation, and grappling with anxiety that can feel overwhelming. The independent and reliable mini adult at age 10 has become an exhausted and lonely woman in her late 20’s or early 30’s who usually suffers in silence. 

If you’re struggling to voice your own desires and feeling unsure about how to prioritize yourself, you’re not alone. Together, we can explore the roots of your perfectionism and anxiety, uncover the impact of trauma, develop strategies for self-compassion and assertiveness, and help you learn to take up space and express your needs without guilt. 

The story you have been telling yourself is, “Maybe if I am who everyone around me wants me to be, I can finally get MY needs met.” but we both know that this story is hindering you, not helping you. This is where our work together begins! Reach out today to schedule a free phone consultation.
