Description
You’ve been holding it all together. For everyone but yourself. Maybe you’re the one people rely on — steady, capable, and quietly exhausted. You don’t need a crisis to come to therapy, just the willingness to get honest and go deeper. My approach is direct, grounded, and human. I use CBT and trauma-focused tools, with a mix of strategy and intuition. If you’re ready to stop carrying it all alone, I’d be glad to support you. Let’s start with where you are.
