You’re tired of pretending everything is fine while quietly running on empty so you thoughtfully used your resources and searched for a Trinity counselor. I get it! You are ready to finally stop pushing, stop pretending, and start feeling like yourself again. I’m sure that this sounds familiar: You wake up already drained, your mind racing with yesterday’s unfinished tasks. At work, you nod through meetings, saying yes to projects you don’t have time for, terrified of seeming difficult. Everyone calls you reliable, but inside, you feel resentful, stretched thin, and unseen. No matter how much you accomplish, you can’t shake the fear that one day your coworkers will realize you’re not as capable as they think. Even after long hours and extra effort, it feels like you’re just pretending to keep up, always waiting for the moment you’ll be “found out.”

In relationships, you bend over backward to keep the peace, often saying yes when you want to say no and then beating yourself up for it later. You hold back your true feelings because you’re scared of being too much or not enough. You give and give until you feel resentful, but then blame yourself for being ungrateful. With friends and family, you’re always scanning the room, trying to keep the peace. You take responsibility for everyone else’s mood, bending yourself into knots so no one feels upset with you. Deep down, you wonder if people actually see you or only the version of you that works so hard to keep everyone else happy. And then there’s the voice in your head: the relentless inner critic that says you’re failing, that you don’t measure up, that if people really knew you, they’d leave or not love you. That voice leaves you doubting your worth, questioning your choices, and replaying every conversation long after it’s over.

Even rest feels impossible and guilt floods in when you try to slow down. On the outside, you’re calm and composed. Yet, on the inside, anxiety, guilt, and loneliness never stop pressing in. You’ve tried therapy before, hoping for quick relief, but it felt surface-level or too short-lived. You have been constantly wondering if real change is even possible. Therapy takes time, safety, and the right relationship to truly shift long-standing patterns. My role is to meet you exactly where you are, with validation for your pain and tools that help you reclaim your voice. You deserve more than just surviving. You deserve to feel safe, seen, and enough. Because you’ve landed here, I know that your invisible scars, relationship wounds, or the exhaustion of constantly striving has been weighing you down. But those scars can be hard to recognize, especially when they’re wrapped in the day-to-day realities of adulthood. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep carrying this weight by yourself. Healing the narratives that have gotten in the way and kept you stuck isn’t about blaming the past. It’s about recognizing the patterns that have held you back, letting go of what no longer serves you, and making room for something better. It’s about grieving what you didn’t get so you can finally receive what you’ve always needed.
