I work with people that learned to be hard on themselves as a way to survive, but could benefit from kinder ways to motivate themselves. They are often talented, smart, funny, creative, and caring but tend to be too critical of themselves. They struggle with feeling good enough, even though they may have a track record of overachieving. As a result, they may feel stressed, exhausted, and overwhelmed. They come to therapy because they want a more sustainable, balanced, and authentic life. Together, we navigate the complexities of being their true selves in a society that may not value their unique strengths and points of view.

When the pressures of life get to be too overwhelming, we tend to put ourselves last. I work with clients who get so caught up in meeting everyone else's needs that they lose themselves and start to feel burned out.

If so it may be beneficial to talk to someone. Whether you are trying to get back to life after the pandemic, experiencing anxiety, feeling out of balance, or are having relationship issues. I am here to help.

New To Therapy? Feeling Overwhelmed and Burned Out? Many of our clients are struggling to keep up with the demands of life, but say it is difficult to know how to change things. They are emotionally drained and are ready to create a more balanced life for themselves by trying therapy.

Stop putting out small fires and start finding long-term solutions.
