You’re tired of crumbling under the weight of others expectations.

It’s like you can never take a Breath.

You find yourself constantly on the lookout for what others may need and worried about how they will react. Chronically anxious that they won’t like you and do everything you can to try and prevent others from feeling disappointed, burdened, or upset with you

As a result, you have become an expert at anticipating other people’s needs, saying “yes” to every task, and not asking for help. “Sorry” has become a staple of your vocabulary and others tell you constantly to stop apologizing. You have found yourself needing to control every situation in order for everything to work out perfectly, despite the stress it brings you.

This has led you to a state of constant self-doubt. You struggle with knowing how you really feel and who you really are. Stuck in a cycle of performing. Showing up for others with a smile on your face until you have nothing left to give. Only to find yourself burnt out, wanting to hide away and never see anyone again. You’re left feeling resentful towards the people you love most, compounding the guilt and anxiety you have been struggling with.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Therapy can help you feel confident in your relationships with self and others.

First, we’ll create a warm, supportive space where you can talk about what feels overwhelming, stressful, or heavy in your life and relationships. You’ll be heard, without pressure or judgment.

Next, we’ll gently explore the patterns that keep you stuck and uncover the emotions and needs underneath them to helps you feel more in charge of your choices instead of trapped by them.

Along the way, we’ll practice ways to stay grounded, tune into your feelings, and connect more deeply with yourself, using reflection and simple exercises to help you feel steadier in life.

Over time, you’ll feel more clarity, confidence, and ease, moving from stress and self-blame toward connection, authenticity, and a sense of control over your life.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

You are worthy and deserving of love and acceptance without having to perform.
