You’ve spent much of your life being the responsible one, keeping the peace, managing emotions, and doing what’s expected. Inside, though, your mind feels restless. You may struggle with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, people-pleasing, or a constant fear of getting something wrong. Even when things are going well, doubt and mental loops can leave you feeling exhausted and unsure of yourself. You want to feel grounded, confident, and more at ease in your relationships and in your own mind. I help adults who grew up feeling responsible for others or managing emotional chaos at home. Many experience OCD or OCD-like patterns such as rumination, reassurance-seeking, guilt, or fear of being a bad person. I use IFS, CBT, and OCD-informed strategies to build boundaries and respond differently to intrusive thoughts. You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of always being “the strong one.” Therapy is a place to slow down, understand your patterns, and feel safe being honest with yourself. Healing is possible, and it begins with curiosity, compassion, and learning to trust yourself again. Let’s explore what it could look like to finally feel more like you.
