Some people don’t just notice emotions — they absorb them.

If you’re the steady one: at work, in your family, or among friends, your nervous system is always scanning for tension. You notice every shift, brace for every flicker, and often take on stress that isn’t yours. Over time, this constant readiness becomes exhausting. You may function well on the outside, but inside, your body and mind are always “on alert.”

Why Work With Me

Practical therapy for overextended adults

Therapy with me focuses on your nervous system as much as your thoughts. Insight alone isn’t enough — real change happens when your body can finally relax. Together, we:

• Identify patterns that keep you overextended

• Build steadier ways of relating to work, relationships, and yourself

• Practice pacing, boundaries, and nervous system regulation

I also bring lived experience to this work. Living with a chronic neurological condition has taught me how to respect limits and work with my body, not override it. That perspective shapes my approach — sustainable change over pushing past capacity.

Cultural Pressures & Overfunctioning

High achievement shouldn’t cost your health

Many high-achieving adults internalize the belief that worth equals productivity and that rest must be earned. Therapy can be a place to question those assumptions and define success in a way your nervous system can actually sustain.

Who I Work With

Therapy for the overextended and overstimulated

I help high-functioning adults who are exhausted from carrying more than their share. You’re capable and empathetic, but your nervous system has been on overdrive. Together, we create strategies that allow you to:

• Stay connected without overloading

• Care without bracing

• Feel grounded while maintaining your empathy and competence

You Don’t Have to Carry It All Alone

You deserve to feel steadier

If this resonates, I invite you to reach out. Therapy can be the space where you slow down, reclaim your energy, and finally feel steadier — without giving up your compassion or capability.
