My ideal client is a woman or adolescent navigating the "invisible load" of life. You likely feel the weight of perfectionism, digital burnout, and the pressure to perform. Whether you are a teen retreating into gaming or drowning in social comparison, or a woman balancing career and home, you need a space to be yourself without judgment. Your goal is to move from surviving to thriving. You want to stop people-pleasing, set firm boundaries, and reclaim your identity. You seek to trade "not-enoughness" for an internal anchor, learning to trust your own voice and build resilience in an overwhelming world. Using CBT, we’ll dismantle the "perfectionist" scripts that fuel your anxiety. When emotions feel heavy, I offer DBT tools, like mindfulness and distress tolerance, to help you regulate without shutting down. We then use Narrative Therapy to strip away external "shoulds," empowering you to rewrite your story and live with authentic purpose. Understanding the pressure of balancing expectations while feeling unseen can be difficult. Seeking support to find your voice and navigate these challenges is a positive step.
