You are the fixer, the dependable one, the high-flyer. But behind the capability is a nervous system stuck in survival mode. You are used to managing a great deal on your own, holding it together, pushing through. And your body is starting to let you know the cost.  
 
Your Body is in Protest  

You may reach out when your nervous system is quietly, or not so quietly, signalling “no more.”
Sleep becomes light or broken. You feel on high alert and find it hard to relax. Headaches, migraines, or digestive issues begin to appear. Your body is doing its best to get your attention.

The Weight of Your Standards

The standards you hold for yourself may be part of what has helped you succeed. They’ve kept you driven, capable, and outwardly composed. And they may also be leaving you feeling trapped in patterns that are no longer sustainable. Rigid ways of coping, fuelled by a fear of failure, or of being found out as a “fraud” or an “imposter.”

When Reaching for Help Feels Risky

Showing vulnerability, or allowing yourself to be seen, can feel deeply uncomfortable.
If you are used to being hyper-independent, seeking support may feel riskier than continuing to do everything yourself. Even when you are exhausted. So you are left with a dilemma. The standards that once worked no longer do. Your body can’t carry the strain. And reaching for support feels unsafe.

​

I offer evidence-based therapies that move at your pace. Therapy that supports you to develop more sustainable patterns in daily life through CBT, and to work at a deeper nervous-system level through EMDR.
 

I offer support that doesn’t take away your strength or ambition, but helps you carry them differently.

Whether you're navigating trauma, burnout, or chronic stress, you don’t have to navigate this alone, I can help.
