Therapy for Woman & Moms

untangle trauma, ADHD, and perfectionism — with honesty, humor, and real tools that work.

“i’m Constantly second-guessing myself.”

“I feel like i’m doing everything and still failing.”

“i’m tired of feeling overstimulated and stuck in survival mode.”

Sound familiar?

I see you.

You’re smart, capable, and doing your best… but you’re also exhausted, anxious, and wondering why everything still feels so hard.

You might be carrying old wounds, managing an ADHD brain that’s always on overdrive, or trying to keep up with the pressure to be everything for everyone.

This isn’t just “stress.” It’s your nervous system doing its job by sounding the alarm that something feels unsafe or unsustainable. The problem is, it’s been on high alert for too long. You’re often operating in survival mode even when you don’t need to be, and that’s what we’ll work to shift.

Core Work

  • A large tree with thick roots and multiple branches extends outward, with sunlight shining through the leaves.

    Explore

    We’ll look at what shaped you. Not to blame, but to understand. The pressure you grew up with. The patterns you picked up for survival. The beliefs you never chose. The roles you played. The messages you absorbed.

    Identify

    That "overreaction"? It’s your nervous system trying to protect you. The shutdowns, spirals, people-pleasing, or rage? Not random. We’ll slow things down to uncover what’s really underneath your reactions so you can stop feeling broken and start feeling more in control.

    Uncover

    Underneath all those survival strategies -the overthinking, the pushing through, the doing - is the real you.
    Together, we’ll figure out what safety, connection, rest, and joy actually feel like in your body.
    This work isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about finding who you’ve always been underneath the fear, overfunctioning, and those damn lies that spiral in your head.
