You grew up quickly, learning to anticipate others’ needs while setting your own aside. Now, you may find yourself deeply attuned to the world—yet struggling to offer yourself the same understanding. The habits that once kept you safe—people-pleasing, perfectionism, or staying hyper-independent—may now leave you anxious, overextended, and burned out. You might feel torn between generosity and resentment, craving connection but fearing that setting boundaries will push others away.

Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore what’s beneath the overwhelm. Perhaps someone important in your life—like a parent or another influential figure—was dismissive of your needs or showed love conditionally, leaving you feeling exhausted and uncertain of your worth. These early patterns can shape the way you move through the world, making self-doubt, guilt, and emotional depletion feel like the cost of being “good.”

But pushing through isn’t the answer. Together, we’ll uncover the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck, develop tools for self-regulation, and explore new ways of engaging with life’s challenges. As a creative process, therapy invites self-exploration, opens new perspectives, and empowers you to build the resilience needed for a more embodied, fulfilling life. Despite the fear of disappointing others, you’ll come to see how self-compassion and boundaries don’t create distance—they foster deeper, more authentic relationships with both yourself and those around you.

Finding the right therapist is important, and the best way to know if we’re a good fit is to talk. To schedule a free 20-minute consultation, reach out today.
