ONLINE THERAPY THROUGHOUT CONNECTICUT
Individual Therapy for High Functioning Women in Connecticut
You’re used to holding everything together, but you're tired of holding it alone.
I help high-achieving women stuck in patterns of over-giving, over-functioning, and over-committing learn to care for themselves inside their relationships.
When being the strong one comes at a cost...
You may be someone others rely on. You manage the details, anticipate what people need, keep things moving, and make sure everything gets done.
From the outside, you may look like you’re doing just fine.
But privately, you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or unsure of yourself. You may spend a lot of time thinking about other people’s feelings while losing touch with your own. You may have trouble saying no, struggle to ask for help, or find yourself carrying more than your fair share of the mental and emotional load.
And somewhere along the way, you may have become quietly disconnected from yourself.
You don't need to carry it all alone anymore...
Many high-functioning women become very good at taking care of things. You may have learned to anticipate what others need, keep the peace, adapt to changing circumstances, or take responsibility for how other people feel.
These patterns often developed for good reasons. They may have once helped you feel safe, connected, needed, or in control.
But what once helped you navigate relationships can become exhausting over time.
You may find yourself over-giving, over-functioning, or over-committing. You may know what everyone else needs but have difficulty knowing what you need. You may feel responsible for keeping relationships together, even when you're exhausted.
And while you're trying to hold everything together, you may feel increasingly invisible to the people who matter most.
Betrayal, addiction, family estrangement, or a significant relationship crisis can bring these patterns to the forefront. They can also leave you questioning yourself, your relationships, and what you actually want.
Therapy can give you space to slow down and begin listening to yourself again.
Learning to care for yourself inside your relationships...
Our relationships can bring some of our deepest patterns to the surface.
You may want to set a boundary but worry about disappointing someone. You may know something doesn't feel right but second-guess yourself. You may find yourself taking care of everyone else while quietly putting your own needs aside.
Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion.
We can work toward helping you reconnect with your inner voice, understand where these patterns came from, and develop boundaries that allow you to stay connected to yourself while remaining connected to the people you love.
The work is about developing a more nurturing relationship with yourself so that you can show up in your relationships with greater authenticity, choice, and self-trust.

My approach is individualized to you, your worldview, and your goals for therapy. I bring curiosity and compassion to our work, while guiding the process at a pace that feels manageable for you.
Depending on what you need, we may draw from attachment-oriented, insight-oriented, somatic, and parts-based approaches, along with practical skill-building to help you create meaningful and lasting change.
A different relationship with yourself
When you've spent years being the strong one, asking for help can take courage.
Therapy can be a place where you don't have to hold everything together. You can slow down, tell your story, and begin to understand yourself in a different way.
Together, we can explore what’s working in your life and what you’d like to change, while remaining open to those goals becoming clearer as we get to know each other.
My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel heard, understood, and accepted—and where you can begin building a more nurturing relationship with yourself.
