You Weren't Meant to Live Like This
-
Your mind races at 3am with everything you forgot to do, should have said differently, or might go wrong tomorrow. The constant mental chatter is exhausting, and you can't remember the last time you felt truly calm.
-
You've achieved everything you thought you wanted, but you're running on empty. The weekends aren't long enough to recover. You're irritable, disconnected, and starting to wonder if this is just how life feels now.
-
You're the calm one, the capable one, the one everyone relies on. But underneath? You're furious. At the unfairness, the invisible labor, the constant demands. And you have nowhere safe to let it out.
-
Nothing you do ever feels good enough. You hold yourself to impossible standards, criticize yourself mercilessly, and can't accept anything less than flawless. It's paralyzing and lonely.
-
You've spent so long meeting everyone else's needs that you don't even know what you want anymore. You're numb, going through the motions, performing a version of yourself that doesn't feel real.
-
Your life is dictated by obligations. What you should do, who you should be, how you should feel. The gap between who you are and who you think you're supposed to be is crushing.
“I know it’s hard to believe, but even your anxiety is trying to help you in some way.”
-Cristine Steele, LMFT
Imagine Waking Up and Feeling Like Yourself Again
-
Your nervous system finally feels safe. The constant buzz of anxiety quiets. You sleep through the night and wake up refreshed.
-
You say no without guilt. You protect your energy. You stop over-functioning for everyone around you and trust that you're still worthy.
-
Your rage transforms into clarity and conviction. You use your voice. You advocate for yourself. You stop shrinking to make others comfortable.
-
The harsh inner critic softens. You treat yourself with the same kindness you give others. Mistakes become learning, not evidence of failure.
-
You reconnect with what you actually want, not what you think you should want. Your choices align with your values, not others' expectations.
-
You rediscover pleasure, playfulness, and presence. Life feels rich again. You're not just surviving—you're actually living.
What it is like to work with us
We understand the unique pressures facing high-achieving women. We can hold space for your complexity and won't pathologize your anger.
In our work together, we'll go beneath the surface symptoms to understand the deeper patterns. We'll explore how anxiety serves as a protection mechanism, how burnout reflects disconnection from your authentic self, and how your rage carries important information about your boundaries and needs.
Therapy with us honors your intelligence, validates your experience, and trusts your capacity for true change at the root level.
You've been carrying this weight alone for too long. In our work together, you'll find the space to process what you're really feeling, develop tools that actually work, and reconnect with the woman you know you are deep inside.
