Relatable Therapy

One-on-one therapy built for high-achieving adults struggling to manage the anxiety of perfectionism and people-pleasing. Authentic support from someone who gets it, where you learn how to trust yourself again.

Let's talk

Many of my clients started here:

  • Unsure of who you are and what you like

  • Stuck in survival mode and you’re unsure how to get out of it

  • Feeling like there’s a literal bear chasing you after making a mistake (like accidentally sending a text to the wrong person—oops!)

  • Overextending yourself and then finding yourself angry or resentful

  • Scared of conflict and pushing down how you feel and what you need in an effort to keep the peace with others

  • Dreaming up worst case scenarios and wasting your precious time

  • Anxious about leaning on family or friends, or telling them how you really are

Maybe you relate?

You’re ready for change and at the same time wondering if you can. You’re wondering if people are secretly mad at you and not telling you.

You’re watching yourself begin to spiral and it’s leading you away from the relationships you want and your sense of self.

Struggling is a normal part of being human. It doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you—it means you’re reacting to life’s challenges, stressors and change.

In therapy, you learn how to go beyond reacting to stress, you become an active participant in your life, choosing your response. I help you learn to quiet the buzz of your nervous system, leave survival mode behind and get life back into your hands with evidence-based, trauma-informed methods.

  • Tune into the needs your feelings are communicating with you

  • Slow down the sense of urgency

  • Strengthen authentic connection and belonging in your relationships

  • Deepen your understanding of yourself and greet wounded parts with love and acceptance 

  • Build trust in yourself to make it through the hard stuff you were once worried about—like boundary setting conversations with your loved ones, your scary boss or even with yourself

  • Say no, and feel good about it
