Therapy for Adults Navigating Burnout, People-Pleasing, Perfectionism, and Codependency
Offering in-person therapy in Danville, CA, and virtual therapy throughout California and Hawaii.
You work hard to juggle life’s demands, but who’s taking care of you?
Therapy for people who’ve spent years putting everyone else first.
Early in life you learned to be capable, steady, and low maintenance. You figured out how to take care of things and often, how to take care of other people.
Over time, this can turn into people pleasing, perfectionism, or carrying more than your share while quietly setting yourself aside. You might look composed and dependable while feeling anxious, depleted, depressed, lonely, or unsure of what you actually need. Even in close relationships, you may worry about being a burden or feel unseen.
I’m a licensed psychologist providing therapy for adults in California and Hawaii who are navigating people pleasing, burnout, perfectionism, and codependency. Many of my clients are adult children of alcoholic, narcissistic, or emotionally immature parents, or were raised in environments where they had to grow up too fast. They learned to stay alert to others while keeping themselves in check. Those patterns made sense then, but can take a real toll now.
I can help you understand how these patterns formed, how they continue to shape your relationship to others and yourself today, and how to move through life in a way that feels more balanced and sustainable.
You don’t have to keep carrying everything on your own.

What Sets My Approach Apart
Grounded and Practical
I skip the jargon and focus on what’s actually helpful. You’ll get clear reflections, honest feedback, and strategies you can use in real life, not just in the therapy room.
Warmth and Humor
Therapy can be meaningful without feeling heavy every second. I bring warmth, a bit of humor, and a relatable style so the work feels engaging rather than overwhelming.
Attachment and Early Patterns
We’ll unpack the patterns you learned early and their impact on your life now. Then we’ll work to create change that helps you feel more connected, grounded, and effective.
