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 it all, 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. You’re steady, capable and the person people know they can count on to get things done. From the outside, it probably looks like you’ve got everything figured out.
But on the inside things feel much different. You feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure how long you can keep up this pace. You’re constantly “on,” and exhausted and underneath it all you:
Find it difficult to slow down or prioritize 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. It’s hard to slow down. Hard to know what you actually need. And even harder to give yourself permission to take up space when you’re so used to taking care of everyone else.
Part of you knows something needs to change but you’re not sure how to get there. If this sounds familiar, then you’re in the right place. You are not alone 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

People I Often Work With
All of my clients are navigating their own unique challenges, but one common thread amongst them is that most carry a lot of responsibility in one form or another.
Because of my background in healthcare, I often support individuals whose lives intersect with the medical system in some way— whether they work in healthcare, are navigating a serious medical condition or supporting a loved one who is.
Many of my clients are also high-capacity leaders, business executives and professionals who are used to managing complex demands, making decisions under pressure, and leading teams while navigating complicated systems.
Not sure where you fit? That’s okay. You don’t have to fall into a specific category or identify with a particular group to work with me. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or ready for things to feel different, that’s enough!

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.
