You've Spent A Long Time Putting Yourself Last

Who I Work With

You've spent years being who other people needed you to be. You're ready to find out who you are underneath that.

You're someone people rely on.

You notice what's needed.

You step in.

You smooth things over.

You think about how your choices affect the people around you.

You carry responsibilities that aren't always yours to carry.

And somewhere along the way, you lost track of yourself.

Not because you weren't trying.

Because everyone else came first.

The People I Work With Are Often...

Thoughtful.

Insightful.

Responsible.

Dependable.

The person everyone counts on.

The one who notices what needs doing and takes care of it.

From the outside, they look strong.

But underneath that strength is a quieter question — a question they rarely say out loud:

“When do I get to matter, too?”

You May Recognize Yourself Here

Eventually, putting yourself last starts to take a toll.

You spend so much time paying attention to everyone else's inner world that you lose touch with your own.

As a result, you struggle with:

  • difficulty setting boundaries

  • chronic guilt

  • not knowing what you want or need

  • perfectionism and internal pressure

  • emotional overwhelm or shutdown

  • difficulty trusting yourself

You May Feel At Home In This Work If...

  • you are tired of carrying everything on your own

  • you are ready to stop organizing your life around other people's expectations

  • you are ready to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace

  • you want relationships where you do not have to disappear to stay connected

This work may not be the best fit if you are:

  • looking for short-term, solution-focused therapy only

  • in need of immediate crisis support

  • seeking primarily diagnostic or evaluative services

If that’s the case, I’m happy to help guide you toward appropriate resources.

If you're recognizing yourself here, it isn't an accident.

You don't have to keep putting yourself last.

A consultation is simply a place to begin.
