You are the one who holds everything together. You anticipate needs before they are spoken. You say yes when your body says no. You manage emotions in the room. You keep the peace at work in relationships and in your family. Inside you feel exhausted anxious and quietly resentful but slowing down feels unsafe. If you are an IFS manager part who learned that being helpful perfect and agreeable was the way to survive you are not broken. Your nervous system adapted brilliantly and it is tired.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My specialization is working with extreme people pleasers perfectionists and over thinkers through Internal Family Systems therapy. I help the manager parts that drive performance caretaking and control finally rest without fear of everything falling apart. Together we gently unburden the belief that your worth comes from being useful or easy or exceptional.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
We create safety for the parts of you that are afraid of conflict rejection and disappointing others so you no longer have to live in constant self monitoring.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Healing from people pleasing is not about becoming selfish or careless. It is about becoming whole. When your inner system no longer runs on pressure and fear you gain clarity boundaries and self trust. Decisions get easier relationships feel more honest and your mind finally quiets. If you are ready to stop over functioning and start living from your true self this work is exactly what I do and it is possible for you.
Trauma Informed Care
I use a trauma approach that helps people feel safe while gently working through painful memories. Instead of forcing you to relive everything at once, we focus on understanding how past experiences show up in your daily life and your body. My goal is to help you process these memories in a way that reduces their power over you, so you can feel more calm, in control, and connected to yourself. It’s a thoughtful, personalized approach that meets you where you are and moves at a pace that feels right for you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With CBT, we explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. By understanding these patterns, we can develop practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and create healthier ways of responding to stress or challenges. It’s a structured, hands on approach that empowers you to see change in real life and gives you strategies you can use long after our sessions.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT skills focus on helping you manage intense emotions and build better coping strategies. You will learn techniques for staying grounded during stressful moments, improving relationships, and reducing self destructive behaviors. This approach emphasizes balance. It helps you accept yourself as you are while learning concrete skills to navigate life more effectively.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness practices teach you how to be present and aware in each moment, helping to reduce anxiety, stress, and trauma related symptoms. By connecting with your body and breath you can develop a calmer, more focused mind and respond to challenges with clarity instead of reactivity. Mindfulness is a gentle but powerful way to regain control over your thoughts and emotions.
Family Therapy
I work with families and couples to strengthen communication, deepen understanding, and resolve conflicts in a healthy way. Therapy in this context helps everyone feel heard and supported, creating patterns that encourage trust and connection. Whether it is navigating life transitions, improving relationships, or addressing specific challenges, this work focuses on building healthier, more resilient relationships.

Paige meets me where I am at and encourages me to show up as my authentic self in a new way that I just could not get to on my own.
