Lasting Connections Counseling

Personalized therapy for complex trauma, anxiety, OCD, and stress to bring back your power

Therapy for Women Ready to Stop People Pleasing and Heal

You Look Fine. You Manage Everything. And You’re Exhausted.

You’re the one people depend on. The high-achiever. The planner. The helper. You keep things together at work, at home, in your relationships — and no one really sees how much it’s costing you.

Inside, it’s a different story. You overthink everything, you struggle to rest, even when you’re wiped. You say “yes” when you mean “no” — and then feel resentful and ashamed. Sure you’re functioning, but it takes everything you’ve got.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just tired of carrying so much, for so long.

Therapy for Women Who Are Done Managing and Ready to Heal

I work with adult women who are anxious people-pleasers, perfectionists, trauma survivors, and a lot of times neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, OCD, or still wondering). Many of my clients feel like:

  • They’re living in their heads 24/7 — and it’s loud in there
  • They’re great in a crisis but collapse after
  • They feel disconnected from what they want because they’re too busy doing what everyone else needs
  • They’re deeply self-aware and still stuck
  • Therapy hasn’t always worked because they ended up caretaking the therapist

Sound familiar? You’re not too much. And you’re not alone.


I Help You Untangle the Patterns That Keep You Stuck

You don’t need a therapist who just nods and says “mmhmm.” You need someone who can see through the performance — someone who can hold the truth of how strong you are and how tired you are.

In therapy, we’ll:

  • Understand your patterns without shame
  • Build boundaries that feel possible, not punishing
  • Explore how trauma, masking, and neurodivergence have shaped you
  • Learn how to rest, say no, and be gentle with yourself without unraveling

Therapy doesn’t have to be another thing to perform. It can be the place you finally let go.


What Working With Me Is Like

I bring warmth, sharp insight, and a dark sense of humor to the therapy room. I know what it’s like to survive by being hyper-competent. I won’t let you collapse, and I won’t let you pretend you’re fine.

My clients describe me as real, responsive, and someone they don’t have to translate for. I’m here to witness, guide, and help you soften into a version of yourself that doesn’t require overworking just to feel okay.


You’re Not Asking for Too Much. You’re Asking at the Wrong Time — Last.
