You’ve checked every box. So why does something still feel off?
I work with women in Washington who feel like they have it all together— except on the inside.
If any of these sound familiar you are in the right place…
01 — Experiencing burnout
You've worked twice as hard to get half the credit. You've navigated spaces that weren't built for you, smiled through microaggressions, and still showed up the next day. From the outside, you're thriving. On the inside, you're exhausted — and you're not sure how much longer you can keep it up. You make it look easy but at the end of the day you feel too tired to do the things you enjoy or even spend the time to discover what those things might be. Burnout is more that jut the latest buzzword. Burnout can take on several shapes and sizes but many of the clients I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, fatigued, irritable, anxious, and withdrawn.
02 — Contemplating life changes
Maybe you were raised to be strong. To not complain. To be grateful for how far you've come. And you are — but you're also tired, overwhelmed, and quietly wondering if this is really what you worked so hard for. Many of my clients are high-achieving women who "should-ed" themselves to the top. They were told they "should" go to a good school, get good grades, pursue a competitive career, get married, start a family — and so they did. But now they find themselves at the top with no idea how they got there, or if that's even where they wanted to be. And the hardest part? For possibly the first time in their lives, no one is telling them what comes next. And that's equal parts terrifying and exciting.
03 — Living life on autopilot
One thing I hear a lot from my clients is that they feel like they are going through the motions. Many of those same high functioning clients report feeling disconnected from themselves and feel like they are watching their lives from the outside. By all accounts their lives are successful, and yet, not as satisfying as one might think given they have hit all of life’s milestones one “should” accomplish.
04 — Struggling with work/life integration
You carry a lot. Your career, your relationships, your family's expectations, and the unspoken pressure of representing your community — all while making it look effortless. But behind closed doors, burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt are telling a different story. A lot of my clients find themselves giving it all everywhere else but not having anything left in the tank to meet their own needs. And despite their best efforts feeling like they are falling short in all areas.
Still on the fence about therapy?
The truth is- we are not supposed to be able to do it all– and definitely not alone. Maybe you are feeling like you “should” be able to handle this on your own. Perhaps you find yourself wondering if what you are feeling is even bad enough for therapy. If you are finding yourself still on the fence but found yourself nodding along to any of the experiences above, reach out. I would love to work with you!
During the consultation we can discuss your goals, get to know each other a bit more, and get any lingering questions answered– no pressure, no commitment. You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Working alongside you we’ll figure out what comes next— together.
