You’re Succeeding at Everything Except Feeling Okay

You’re a high-powered professional, and everyone around you sees someone who’s fully together.

Inside, you feel like you’re barely holding it together.

The stress of staying on top of your game is becoming exhausting.

And the imposter syndrome whispers that you don’t really belong here.

Your focus at work is starting to slip.

Your Patience At Home Is Wearing Thin

You bolt awake at 3am, mind racing, unable to slow it down before the alarm goes off too soon for another hectic day.

The best part of your day is finally laying your head on the pillow.

Only to startle awake again.

Rinse. Repeat.

If only you could quiet your thoughts enough to actually sleep through the night.

If only you could find the patience to be the parent your children need and the partner your spouse needs.

You feel like you’re failing in every part of your life.

I See You. I Can Help.

It took you time to get where you are now.

It’ll take some time to get out of this place.

And you don’t have to do it by yourself.

How We’ll Untangle What’s Twisting You Up

I’ll help you unravel the thought tangles your brain twists you into. Together, we’ll set reasonable, achievable goals so you start to feel like the master of your own life. I’ll help you find the work-life balance to be more present with your family and feel the energy to be social with your friends.

We’ll explore what happens when the racing thoughts arrive in the middle of the night. And how to let them pass over you instead of weighing you down. So much of this work is learning to notice what your body is telling you before it boils over. The clenched jaw before you explode.

I draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the approach I spent fourteen years practicing in a state hospital setting. In plain terms, it’s about reading what you feel, knowing what to do with those feelings so they don’t overwhelm you, and having the tools to bring yourself back when emotion runs high and clear thinking drops. I won’t pigeonhole you into one method.

We’ll go with what you actually need, and I’ll meet you with honesty instead of clinical distance. You’ll never feel intimidated to ask a question here.

I got you. You are not alone.

You Deserve More Than Just Barely Keeping Up

Imagine sleeping through the night, the 3am spiral losing its grip on you.

Imagine the patience to be the parent and partner you want to be.

Imagine moving through your hectic days feeling like the master of your own life instead of someone barely keeping up.

No one deserves to suffer through their days like this.
