Struggling to keep up with the pressure?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALL, ALL OF THE TIME
I get it. Juggling everything can be exhausting. You’re constantly pushing yourself to be the best – at work, at home, everywhere. It's easy to feel like you're alone in facing these challenges, but I want you to know you are not. Many of us have been there, myself included, feeling like we’re drowning in our life but from the outside looking in, people believe we've got it all figured out.
Therapy isn’t just about fixing problems; it’s about learning to appreciate where you are right now and finding joy in the present. I emphasize self-compassion and mindfulness, helping you recognize that your worth isn’t tied to your achievements. It’s okay to slow down and take care of yourself. You deserve to be happy and healthy, not just successful.
I’m here to help you find balance and self-compassion.
MY STYLE
I believe that you have power to create the change you seek
Seriously, it’s okay to take a step back. Many of us overachievers feel like we have to be perfect in every aspect of our lives, but that’s just not sustainable.
Through therapy, you can learn to set more realistic goals and find a pace that works for you. Whether it’s through practical strategies or emotional support, I'm here to help you navigate the pressures of being an overachiever without burning out.
I blend insight-oriented practices with art therapy to help you find balance and live a more fulfilling life. Insight-oriented therapy dives deep into understanding the roots of your thoughts and behaviors, giving you a clearer picture of why you feel and act the way you do. When we combine this with art therapy, it opens up a whole new avenue for self-expression and healing.
I understand the pressures of life and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed. Together, we’ll explore your inner world and use creative expression to help you find clarity and peace. My goal is to support you in rediscovering your strengths and achieving a balanced, joyful life.
