I work with high-functioning people who are quietly overwhelmed inside — the ones managing everyone else's needs while their own goes unattended. If your life looks fine but feels like bracing, performing, or waiting for the other shoe to drop, you're who I love working with. My focus is the gap between the self you present and who you actually are -where that split came from and what it's costing you. Whether it shows up as people-pleasing, over-functioning, anxious attachment, religious or family wounds, or a nervous system stuck "on," we go after the root, not just the symptom.
