A Little Bit About You
You're a reliable, high-achieving woman—someone who looks like they have their whole life together, but on the inside it feels like things are falling apart. You’re dealing with high amounts of stress, your worry keeps you up at night, and you have difficulties saying nice things to yourself. Your lack of confidence, indecisiveness, and inability to say "no" are weighing on you, and you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, less than, or burned out.
You have thought about therapy, but you find yourself hesitating to take that next step. You know that something needs to change, but you feel ashamed for not being able to work through these challenges on your own. I genuinely get it, and you deserve to take care of yourself with the support of someone who is trained to help you navigate through these difficult times.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or burned out by your stress, anxiety, perfectionism or self-doubt, you have come to the right place. I'm glad you are here and I'd love to help!
Take a look around and if it seems like I'm a good fit, schedule an initial session or a 15-minute consultation. I'd love to connect!
A Little Bit About Therapy
My clients appreciate my warm and inviting yet direct approach. I am an active participant in therapy and I will not tiptoe around your challenges. Your time is valuable and I want you to get the most out of therapy.
There's not a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I cater therapy to your unique needs, whether that's diving in to see what's been keeping you stuck, helping you unpack years worth of stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, tackling underlying patterns and themes, or providing you with a toolbox full of coping techniques. I will support and encourage you in a way that works best for your healing process.
I understand that there is a lot going on underneath all of that stress and anxiety, and I'm here to help you unpack everything that's weighing you down. The goal is to help you get unstuck, feel confident in your ability to manage your stressors, and not feel so overwhelmed all of the time.
Coming to therapy doesn't mean you are crazy, that there is something drastically wrong with you, or that you need to be fixed. Coming to therapy is taking care of yourself, finding security in who you are, and working through the challenges that are holding you back. Therapy might just be exactly what you need.
When you are ready to take the next step, I invite you to connect with me. I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so you can get a feel for whether I'm a good fit for you. I'd love to hear from you!
A Little Bit About Me
I'm a high-achieving, anxious perfectionist, so I truly get it. I know that there's more to your stress and anxiety than overthinking, burnout, and not feeling good enough. This is why I'm so passionate about this area of therapy and why I do this work. If you're here because you want to be seen and heard by a therapist who gets it and can help, you're in the right place.
I provide therapy that's relatable and relevant to your mental health, and because I want you to get the most out of therapy, we'll cover everything from communication and boundaries to coping and self-care.
I love helping my fellow anxious perfectionists feel empowered, challenge their inner critic, and take back control of their lives. If this sounds like something you're interested in, I'd love to connect and discuss how I can be of support!
