Deep Self-Reflection, Understanding, and Boundary Support for People Who Serve Others
.png)
Why You're Here...
At the end of each day, you are exhausted from taking care of others at work and home, but it feels like it's never enough.
It often feels like others don't notice or appreciate everything you do, leading to burnout, overwhelm, and resentment towards those you care so much about...which makes you feel guilty.
You snap at your loved ones and often don't know why, or act passive-aggressively when you don't know what else to do.
The world feels overwhelming and ugly but you don't feel like you can make a difference, leading you to feel agitated, numb, or ashamed. It upsets me when others don't care about injustice.
You're here because you're ready for a change.
Hello, hello!
My name is Lindsey.
I help progressive helping professionals who feel overwhelmed and burned out at work (and home) to feel appreciated and confident through deep self-reflection and boundary setting.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) I can support you in your relationships with family, work, and yourself to create lasting change.
So What Does Therapy Look Like?
Sessions are available online and in person for individuals and relationships.
We meet for 60 - 90 minutes each (depending on your needs).
How Can Therapy Help Me?
Meeting Your Own Needs
You wake up with a mental to-do list preloaded, anticipating the needs and expectations of everyone around you. You love the people you take care of but get tired of feeling like it's never enough. When was the last time you noticed your own needs, let alone did effective self-care?
Trade Resentment for Boundaries
You sometimes feel unappreciated by the ones you work so hard for. Sometimes a little voice whispers, "They just expect you to take care of it." You begin to feel resentful of the ones you care for, so you feel guilty and exhausted. Learn how and when to set boundaries and feel appreciated!
Live Your Values Everyday
It seems like each day the world gets worse, and there is nothing you can do that will make a difference. It upsets you when others don't seem to care. You get overwhelmed with what's happening in the world and want to find ways to live your values and support change.
Understanding Your Deep Pain
Growing up you didn't have great role models for emotional repair (let's be honest, few of us do). So you learned how to "move on" even if you didn't fully heal from a wound, leading you to feel alone and unsure how to process conflict as an adult. Your own needs go unmet in your family and/or friend relationships.
Are We A Good Fit?
Research shows that, unlike other forms of healthcare, the fit between the client and therapist is the biggest predictor of success in therapy. Additionally, I do my best work with clients who align with my personality and therapeutic style. That's why it's important to confirm we are a great fit before we begin working together.
