...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 & coach who shows up for you to be fully human, fiercely honest, deeply present, and ready to help you (and your body) unlearn the rules that keep you small.
So much of what you’re carrying isn’t a personal flaw:
it’s the lesson you learned growing up that taught you to shrink, smile, and keep everyone else comfortable.
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 reconnect with their own voice, set fire to perfectionism, 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 behind a clipboard, I’m here to be in it with you. 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 overachiever, the people-pleaser, the woman who stayed too long, gave too much, and called it strength.
