It’s hard not to be hard on yourself
You know you struggle with perfectionism. You’ve heard about self-compassion. But when you try to offer yourself kindness, it doesn’t stick.
You may be highly capable and responsible, yet you feel invisible or guilty when you need support. It can feel like everyone’s allowed to fall apart… except you.
If you’re thinking, “I worked for so long to get here, and things are still so hard,” it probably feels overwhelming right now. You’ve survived hardship or trauma, and it feels like this should be the easier part.
It doesn’t have to keep going this way.
If you’re tired of feeling on edge, guilty, and like you can’t relax in your own body, I offer attachment-informed somatic therapy that helps clients:
Work with their nervous system to finally unclench and relax
Untangle from making decisions based on guilt and anxiety
Make friends with tricky emotions so they don’t have to constantly try to avoid them.

Heal from Trauma at Your Pace
Past experiences still live in your body and nervous system and show up in your day-to-day. You may swing from feeling on edge to shut down, or just plain exhausted from holding it all together.
Attachment-informed trauma therapy can help you feel safer in your body, more present, and at home in yourself.

Work Through Anxiety & Perfectionism
You push yourself hard, but still feel like it’s never enough.
Therapy helps you befriend the inner critic (stick with me!), set realistic expectations, and build self-compassion so life doesn’t feel like a constant struggle.

Let Go of Chronic Guilt & People Pleasing
It can feel like you’re carrying a lot — often more than your share. Saying no feels hard, and guilt shows up even when you know you’ve done nothing wrong.
Therapy helps you work through people-pleasing tendencies and live with more ease and self-trust.
