Therapy For People Who Carry A Lot
You’re the one who shows up, holds it all together, and keeps things moving— at work, at home, and for everyone around you.
But underneath the tough exterior, you’re overwhelmed, stretched thin and quietly struggling.
Does this sound like you?
You are used to being the strong, dependable one— the person others turn to when things get tough. From the outside, it probably looks like you’ve got everything figured out.
But on the inside things feel much different. You feel overwhelmed and disconnected. You’re constantly “on,” and under it all you probably:
Have difficulty slowing down or prioritizing yourself
Feel on edge, overthink things and struggle to fully relax
Carry responsibility for others, often at your own expense
You’ve figured out how to manage a lot on your own. But it’s hard to slow down, hard to know what you actually need, and even harder to ask for help without feeling guilty for it.
Part of you knows something needs to change but you’re not sure how to get there. If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place and you don’t have to keep carrying it this way.
With experience in healthcare, trauma and complex life decisions, I specialize in supporting people navigating:
Anxiety & Chronic Stress
Perfectionism
Caregiver Fatigue
Burnout & Morale Injury
Responsibility Overload
People Pleasing
Depression & Negative Self Talk
Major Life Transitions
Healthcare & Serious Illness
Relationships & Boundaries

Meet Christine
RECOVERING OVERACHIEVER | LICENSED THERAPIST | UNAPOLOGETICALLY BOUNDARIED
Hi there, I’m Christine.
I’m a therapist, but more importantly, I’m a real person you can talk to when things feel like a lot.
If you’re here, there’s probably a lot on your plate and not a lot of space where you get to just be a person in it.
That’s what this is for.
A place where you don’t have to filter, explain yourself perfectly, or worry about how you’re coming across. Just a real conversation, at your pace.
People I Work With Most
Most of the people I work with wouldn’t necessarily describe themselves the same way, but there tends to be a common thread::
They’re all carrying a lot. A lot of responsibility. A lot of pressure. A lot of…everything.
That often includes people who:
Work in Healthcare or high-stress environments
Are caring for a parent, partner or loved one
Are highly driven professionals and leaders managing constant demands.
Truthfully though, most people don’t fit neatly into one category or label.
Some people just feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from themselves and can’t quite explain why. They just know something feels heavier than it should.
If something hear resonates, you can explore the different areas I support below and see what feels most relevant to you.

Ready to Take the Next Step?
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but getting started is actually pretty simple.
If you think we might be a good fit, reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation or an initial session.
Our first conversation is a chance to talk through what’s been going on, what you’re hoping for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
From there, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and managed for you.
