Do you find yourself overthinking even the smallest decisions, worrying about how others perceive you, or feeling like no matter how much you do—it’s never quite enough?
Are you often hard on yourself, striving to be everything to everyone, while your own needs quietly take a back seat?

You may be someone who cares deeply, feels things intensely, and wants to do your best—not just for yourself, but for the people around you. And while these qualities are beautiful, they can sometimes come with a heavy emotional load.

When Sensitivity Meets Self-Imposed Pressure

Many of the people I work with are driven, thoughtful, and compassionate—and also feel overwhelmed by anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. You might be constantly thinking about how to avoid letting others down or rehashing interactions in your head long after they happen.

People-pleasing often shows up as saying yes when you want to say no, putting others’ needs before your own, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s happiness. These patterns often come from past experiences that shaped how you relate to yourself and others.

And perfectionism? It might have helped you feel in control or safe in the past—but now it’s become exhausting.

A Space to Soften and Be Seen

In our work together, we’ll gently explore the roots of these patterns and make space for a new kind of relationship with yourself—one rooted in self-compassion, emotional balance, and a deeper understanding of what you truly need.

My approach integrates:

• A relational, trauma-informed lens that honors your story

• Creative tools like art therapy to access insight beyond words

• EMDR to support healing from old wounds stored in the nervous system

• Practical strategies for easing anxiety, building boundaries, and connecting with your values

You don’t need to change who you are—you’ve always been enough. This is about releasing what no longer serves you and coming home to yourself.

Let’s find a new way forward—together.

If you're tired of the pressure to be perfect or the pull to please everyone else, therapy can offer a softer, steadier path. I offer therapy for perfectionists and people pleasers in Baltimore and virtually throughout Maryland and Colorado.
