Depth-oriented therapy integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness for high-responsibility individuals who are tired of holding it all together

Certified IFS Therapist ♡ Telehealth in California & Colorado

Schedule a Brief Consultation

I work with high-responsibility individuals who are used to being the one others rely on. Outwardly, you appear capable and successful, like you are holding it all together. Internally you may be carrying burnout, grief, relationship stress, or guilt slowing down or taking rest.

Through Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Mindfulness related approaches, I help you better understand the parts of yourselves that strive, over-function, or carry old wounds, so you can move through life with greater clarity, balance, and self-compassion. I also work with building skills to navigate relationships and communication in all aspects of your life.

I offer a space for you to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with your inherent wisdom and learn to rest in a more grounded way of being. I welcome adults from all backgrounds and life experiences, creating a safe and respectful environment where every part of your story is welcome.

The Cost of Holding It All Together

High functioning anxiety can be sneaky, and you are most likely exceptionally good at managing it. So good, it may not look or even feel like anxiety.

It can show up as competence. You anticipate problems before they happen. You carry responsibility without dropping the ball. You are the steady one that people can depend on.

And yet inside, you might be working hard to hold it altogether. Your mind rarely powers down. Your body stays slightly braced. You are always calculating what needs attention next. Have a sense that if you stop pushing, something will unravel. Have difficulty resting without guilt

Being attuned with your Wise Heart means being in alignment and connection with your true self. To know what is needed at any given moment, you must learn to listen to your inner voice that is sometimes just a whisper.  Imagine if you had a “seek” button like on a radio, and at any moment could tune into the clear signal of your heart and mind. This is the path of self-care.
