Growing up you’ve always been called the nice one, the responsible one, the mature one. You’ve flourished into a resilient and ambitious woman accomplishing your dreams and being the first in your family to do so. Yet, now you’re at a place in life where your past is sneaking up behind you. The tension in your shoulders, the pit in your stomach, the tightness in your chest, and the constant thoughts floating in your mind is keeping you stuck. You’re ready to finally face yourself, your past pain, and the deep family wounds that have been unintentionally rupturing your relationship with others and yourself.
I help anxious ambitious women (20s-40s) end their self-sacrificing cycle, slow down the overthinking, and reconnect with themselves in a new loving way. You’ve spent years emotionally caring for everyone else, and while it’s your superpower, it’s also what is slowly dimming your light. In therapy, we will work slowly and intentionally to release emotional exhaustion stored in your body, build self-compassion and emotional awareness, understand patterns shaped by childhood trauma, and create a new loving cycle that does not revolve around making everyone else happy.
Your life is already full, therapy should meet you where you are and not ask you to give more than you have. Healing happens in a way that respects your time, your boundaries and your nervous system. Curious about starting? I encourage you to send me a message to schedule your free 15 phone consultation! I can’t wait to hear from you.
