A Soft Place to Land
For High Achievers Struggling to Set Limits with Their Families or Emotionally Immature Parents
You’re an expert at work, daily life, analysis, and self-criticism.
People look to you for answers. You’re skilled at solving most problems.
Still, you often feel empty and lonely. Being responsible for everything takes a toll.
Where do you go when you’ve hit your limits and tried all you know?
Are you stuck in a stress cycle?
You feel stressed. Annoyed. Resentful. Tired of trying so hard.
You have nothing left to give, but you keep giving. Everyone tells you to set limits, but it feels wrong, especially with kids, aging parents, and struggling employees.
You turn to food, wine, work, Instagram, or Netflix. You rationalize, justify, or explain it away. It’s not that bad. “It could be so much worse!”
3:00am. Awake, planning a perfect day where everything gets done. Tomorrow, you’ll get it right.
Rinse. Repeat.
You fear you’ll never get there or think life is supposed to be this hard.
I have been in your shoes. I know the way home.
You’ll develop new methods of coping that address the root of the problems.
There is another way.
HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS IS A GOOD FIT?
YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF YOU…

MY VALUES
Our work together is guided by
Integrity
Ethics and use of evidence-based treatments are standard practice.
Collaboration
Although I know a lot about psychology, you’re the expert on you. This is a team effort.

Changing life patterns requires bravery. It’s normal for it to feel unfamiliar at first.
