Therapy for Women Who Are Tired of Holding Everything Together
Virtual therapy for women in Ohio who are exhausted, disconnected, and ready to find their way back to themselves.
You've been holding it together for a long time.
And you're really good at it. That's actually part of the problem.
There's a particular kind of exhaustion that doesn't show up on the outside. You're still showing up, still managing, still keeping everyone else's world running smoothly. But somewhere along the way you stopped being sure where they end and you begin.
You're not falling apart. You're just tired of holding everything together alone. And maybe a little tired of pretending that's fine.
This is a space where you don't have to manage anything. Not my feelings, not how you come across, not whether you're doing therapy right. You just get to be honest, probably for the first time in a while.
You don't want to be a different person.
You just don't want to feel like this anymore.
You're not here because things are falling apart. From the outside your life probably looks like a success story. Good career, people who love you, responsibilities you've worked hard for.
But you're tired in a way that doesn't show up on the outside.
You're the one who holds everything together — at work and at home. You know everyone's schedule, everyone's needs, everyone's emotional temperature. You're managing your career, your family, maybe your aging parents, and somewhere in the middle of all of that you've lost track of yourself.
You love the people in your life. You're proud of what you've built. But you're running on empty and you can't figure out how to slow down without everything falling apart.
And the hardest part? You're not even sure who you are outside of what you do for everyone else.
You love your life. You’re just exhausted by it.
You don't want to be a different person.
You're not looking for someone to fix you or hand you a morning routine that changes everything. You've already tried doing more. You're good at doing more. That's not the problem.
What you're looking for is someone who can help you figure out who you are underneath all of it. Not the role you play at work. Not the mother, the partner, the daughter, the one everyone counts on. Just you.
A lot of the women I work with describe feeling disconnected — from their partners, from their friends, sometimes from their own bodies. Not because anything is terribly wrong, but because there's no space left in the day to actually feel anything. By the time everyone else's needs are met there's nothing left to connect with.
In our work together, we slow down enough to change that. Sometimes that means talking. Sometimes it means pausing and paying attention to what's happening in your body in a way you haven't had time to do in years. There's no right way to do this and you don't need any experience with mindfulness, meditation or breathwork. Just a willingness to show up honestly.
For many women I work with, EMDR becomes a powerful part of this process. It’s a way to finally move through the things that years of talking about them couldn't shift. Those negative thought patterns that feel hardwired, the beliefs about yourself you can't seem to reason your way out of. That's exactly what EMDR is designed to reach.
You've taken care of everyone else for a long time.
If any part of this page made you exhale — even just a little — that's worth paying attention to. You don't have to have it all figured out before you reach out. You don't need to know exactly what to say or where to start. That's what I'm here for.
I work with women who are ready to stop running on empty and start finding their way back to themselves. If that's you, I'd love to hear from you.
You deserve someone in your corner who actually gets it.
I'm ready when you are.
This is where you start taking care of yourself.
