Therapy for Caretakers and People-Pleasers
You’ve put everyone and everything else first and somewhere along the way you’ve lost yourself and your zest for life in the process.
Maybe you’ve finally had enough with always feeling like you do everything for everyone else but they don’t return the favor. Perhaps your friends or family have noticed that you seem like you have little left to give lately. You might be struggling to just get through the day or feeling too stressed and overwhelmed. Maybe you just want to stay in bed, wishing the responsibilities away.
You're noticing that:
- You’re feeling mentally tired all the time
- It’s difficult to do-it-all and also take care of yourself
- You’re feeling burnt out, like you need a vacation (even if you just took one)
Therapy for Caretakers and People Pleasers can help.
It may feel impossible now, but you can overcome the stress and overwhelm. You can reclaim your peace and time. You can find ways to take care of yourself while managing all your other responsibilities. And I can help you get there.
How it works
Therapy can help you:
- Regain your time and refocus your mind, heart, and energy on yourself and your unique needs.
- Feel heard, when you feel as though you’ve lost yourself and your way.
- Discover where your caretaking and people pleasing tendencies come from. Better understand how these tendencies and traits developed to gain greater insight into when they tend to show up for you.
- Learn how to create and maintain healthy boundaries, both with yourself and with others, in order to balance taking care of yourself and others.
I'm here to help.
I’ll help you through this process by carefully crafting each step to meet your unique needs and circumstances. In my approach to anxiety therapy, I come from a place of compassion and hope, firmly believing that you have the ability to reclaim your energy, time, and peace. By working together, we can create a life where your needs are a priority, ultimately enabling you to live a fulfilling and balanced lifestyle.
You have the freedom to live in this world in fulfilling ways, beyond just caretaking and people-pleasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are therapy sessions like?

As a relationally focused, psychodynamically oriented psychologist, I make sure to regularly check-in with you to see how your experience of therapy is going. It is my top priority to make sure we have a good connection with each other and that you are getting what you hope for out of our sessions together.
How long do I need to be in therapy?
As therapy is as unique as your fingerprint, the length of your therapy will be the same: unique to you regaining your peace and finding balance in life again. For some, this takes little time, for others, it may take longer. Your unique needs come first and are a priority in determining length of time in therapy.
