...So You Can Leave Feeling More Like Yourself
You’ve been the “together” one and saying yes to everyone so long that masking anxiety is second nature.
Here's Your Messy Invitation to Come as You Are...
The cause, saying yes to everything and telling no one when you're tired, hurt, or at your limit, is what we change together in therapy.
You clench and grind your jaw at night, so your dentist fitted you for a night guard and told you to manage your stress. You plan what you eat around your sensitive stomach before big work meetings. Maybe you've had a panic attack that felt so much like a heart attack you went to the ER, but your EKG was normal.
You've dealt with each of these on your own by hiring another specialist or taking another supplement, but the symptoms keep coming back anyway. They keep coming back because each specialist is treating one symptom.
But the stress of living that way is showing up in your body now.
So you've never had a reason to question whether being useful is really what makes you lovable.
Everything since has backed that up: teachers liked the responsible kid, bosses promote the reliable one, and nobody worries about the woman who takes care of everyone.
and you learned at a young age that being easy and useful is how you stay loved.
You were the responsible one at home, the kid who never caused trouble,
And that’s why you deserve a therapist who welcomes the whole person you are. I show up deeply present ready to sit with and help you through what has always felt like "too much." Together you (and your body) unlearn the "responsible, Good Girl" role that keeps you feeling less important than everyone else.
Since you were little you learned to take on everyone's stress. To ignore your own feelings in order to make everyone else comfortable.
Now it's literally causing discomfort in your body.
I show up as a full human because that’s what you deserve: someone who gets what it’s like to live under the weight of expectation and still want more for yourself.
Whether you're navigating burnout, people-pleasing, ongoing physical discomforts from stress, or the quiet ache of wondering “Is this all there is?” you’re in the right place. I help women opt-out of the "responsible daughter" / "good girl" role they never asked for and build relationships that actually feel good… starting with the one they have with themselves.
My approach is rooted in feminist theory, parts work, and real-life experience, not just academic training.
Cathartic Counseling was born out of a refusal to keep doing things the way we’re “supposed” to.
I’m not here to play the expert on the other end of the computer screen, I’m here to be in it with you. Because the 'it' is your life. One that's worth finally finding peace and joy in.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck in a life that looks “fine” on paper but feels like you’re disappearing in real time. I’ve been the (secretly resentful) overachiever, the people-pleaser, the I'm so stressed my hair is falling out woman, the one who stayed too long, gave too much, went to work with migraines, and called it strength.
A Therapist & Coach Who knows you need me to tell you whats wrong. You just need some guidance from someone who sees you as a whole real valuable person.
Hi! I'm Maggie
Relational Trauma goes deep into bones and doesn't change just because you're self aware. Hypnosis combined with ego-state/parts work helps you release long-held emotional patterns keeping feeling stuck.
