When Giving Too Much Becomes Too Heavy

You want to be kind, caring, and supportive — but lately, it’s left you feeling drained.

Maybe you say “yes” when you mean “no.” Maybe you worry that setting boundaries will push people away.

Or maybe you’re always taking care of others while quietly neglecting yourself.

You’re not alone — and you can find another way.

Gentle, Grounded Guidance Through Your Healing

I meet codependency and people-pleasing with deep empathy and respect for the resilience it took to get here.

In our work together, we’ll explore the roots of these patterns and gently begin to shift them.

This is about building self-trust, emotional safety, and boundaries that feel empowering — not rigid.

Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone else. It means returning home to who you’ve always been.

You Deserve to Take Up Space

When you’ve spent a lifetime tending to others, choosing yourself can feel unfamiliar — or even unsafe.

But honoring your needs isn’t selfish — it’s foundational.

Therapy can help you move from self-sacrifice to self-respect, from people-pleasing to empowered presence.
