You’ve Carried So Much

For so long.

You’ve been the one who shows up, keeps the peace, holds the schedule, holds the emotions, holds the weight - of the house, the kids, the job, the expectations, the family dynamics. You might not even know where the load ends and you begin.

Maybe you’ve spent years being who you were supposed to be:
The good daughter. The helper. The fixer. The responsible one.
And somewhere along the way, you started to disappear.

Now, the cracks are showing - in your body, your relationships, your sleep, your spirit. You feel stuck, overwhelmed, numb, or just so tired.

You’re starting to ask questions you’ve avoided for a long time:

• Who even am I right now?

• How did I get here?

• Is this really what I wanted?

Maybe No One Taught You How to Have Boundaries

Maybe you learned that being a “good woman” meant being agreeable, selfless, easy to be around. You were taught to take care of everyone - and feel guilty for needing anything yourself.

But now, it’s catching up.
The people-pleasing. The resentment. The mental load. The loss of your own voice.

It’s not your fault.
And it’s not too late to learn another way.

Grief Can Be Ambiguous

You may not be grieving a person - but rather:

• The version of life you thought you’d have by now

• The version of you that got buried under motherhood, marriage, or work

• A dream that didn’t come true

• A family that changed in ways you didn’t expect

• The realization that doing everything “right” didn’t lead to feeling whole

It’s grief that doesn’t always have a name, but it still lives in your body and your chest and your thoughts at night. Therapy can help you name it, feel it, and move forward without losing yourself again.

How Therapy Can Help

This is a space where you get to take up space. You don’t have to filter or shrink. You don’t have to be “on.” You just get to be.

In our work together, we’ll:

• Untangle patterns that are no longer working

• Explore your identity, values, and what matters to you

• Learn to set (and hold) boundaries without guilt

• Process grief, disappointment, and all the unspoken emotions

• Build tools for managing stress, anxiety, and burnout

• Reconnect with your voice, your needs, and your intuition

And maybe for the first time in a long time - you’ll get to come home to yourself.

Therapy, With a Little Extra Warmth

Kevin, my certified therapy dog (and gentle goldendoodle), is often by my side in session. He’s goofy, grounding, and somehow always knows when someone needs a little extra comfort. Whether he’s curled up by your feet or offering a soft nudge during a tough moment, Kevin has a way of helping people feel safe, seen, and less alone.

If having a therapy dog sounds like something that might help you feel more at ease, you’re in the right place.

You're Allowed to Want More

More peace.
More space.
More clarity.
More you.

You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to wait until things fall apart to ask for help. You’re allowed to begin now.
