Walking on eggshells in relationships, 4. Not knowing how to speak up without sounding mean, 5. Living in a cycle of burnout and emotional overload.

Therapy can help you break the cycle.
You’re not alone in feeling this way.

Hi, I’m Jess!

i’ve spent the last 12 years as a therapist for overthinkers, people-pleasers, and cycle breakers who are tired of questioning themselves all the time.

i help women make sense of the patterns they learned in relationships, especially the ones that leave them feeling guilty, anxious, responsible for everyone else, or like they’re somehow always the problem.

therapy with me is warm, honest, and very human, with a mix of deeper processing, practical tools, and EMDR when it makes sense.

my goal is to help you feel more grounded in who you are, to trust yourself more, and to stop abandoning yourself just to keep the peace.

I Specialize In Helping Women With:

your brain is always ten steps ahead, replaying conversations, anticipating what could go wrong, and questioning decisions you’ve already made. you might look calm and capable on the outside while internally feeling like your mind never really shuts off. therapy can help you understand the anxiety underneath the overthinking and feel more grounded, confident, and able to trust yourself.
you might have grown up feeling like you had to manage her moods, earn her approval, or become really good at keeping the peace. maybe you still second-guess yourself, feel guilty for setting boundaries, or feel like a kid again the second she’s disappointed in you. therapy can help you understand the patterns that relationship created, grieve what you didn’t get, and learn to trust yourself without feeling responsible for everyone else’s feelings.
relationships can feel especially hard when closeness also brings anxiety. you might overanalyze texts, fear someone is pulling away, need reassurance to feel secure, or lose yourself trying to keep a relationship intact. together, we can explore where those patterns come from and help you build relationships that feel safer, more secure, and less consuming.
you may find yourself reacting to things in the present with feelings that seem much bigger than the moment itself. maybe you learned early on to stay small, keep the peace, read the room, or work hard for love and approval, and those patterns are still showing up in your relationships now. therapy can help you understand where those patterns came from, process the experiences underneath them, and build relationships that feel safer, more secure, and more like you.
ou might understand why you feel the way you do and still find yourself having the same reactions anyway. EMDR is. atype of therapy that helps your brain process experiences that still feel emotionally “stuck,” so old memories, beliefs, and triggers don’t have such a strong hold on you. therapy can help you feel less activated by the past and more grounded, secure, and able to respond from the present instead of old survival patterns.
