When did being a people pleaser become a job?

You’re the one everyone turns to when they need something done. You’re reliable, dependable and …. exhausted. People see you as capable but you silently doubt it. You’re driven to do because of the anxiety

of being

You don’t know how people pleasing became a full-time job but now you’re stuck. You’re not alone. I help people just like you who sacrifice their time, needs and peace of mind to reach a balance that honors both others and yourself.

Does this sound familiar?

You wake up in the middle of the night, filled with anxiety about all the things you have to do just so you don’t disappoint anyone.

Your colleagues ask you to do them a favor, you reluctantly say “yes” because you fear they will hate you.

You come home, tired from work, the house is a mess, your partner’s watching TV and you’re still expected to cook dinner and clean up after everybody.

You feel that familiar lump in your throat when you’re asked for something and you want to say no but can’t.

You’re exhausted and running on empty wondering why no one notices you’re about to fall apart.

~You don’t have to continue to live like this, putting others before yourself and being afraid to speak up ~

You can quit people pleasing and rid yourself of that anxiety

Imagine feeling secure in yourself and feeling valued for who you are and not just for what you do.
What if instead of feeling overwhelmed, you feel relaxed and at peace?
What if you could say no without the agony of anxiety and guilt.

I help overwhelmed people pleasers who feel burned out, tired, taken advantage of and disrespected by their partner, family, friends and colleagues to set up boundaries and gain appreciation without feeling guilty or bad for doing so.

In a safe and empathetic environment, we’ll not only takes steps to create the space to decrease the people pleasing behaviors but also explore what makes people pleasing anxiety different from other types of anxiety.

We’ll focus on making sustainable changes one step at a time so that you become comfortable saying yes to yourself and not feel guilty about it.

Consider how it would feel, waking up every morning with a quiet confidence, at peace knowing you don’t have to prove your worth by how much you give or how hard you work for others. Instead,

You feel grounded and secure in who you are

You feel grounded and secure in who you are

You realize that you matter too, that your needs are valid and your voice deserves to be heard

You no longer experience the feeling of anxiety before saying no

You are appreciated and cherished, knowing that you are supported as much as you support others

You receive recognition from colleagues and supervisor as they finally see the value you bring to the team

This sounds good but…

You’ve poured so much into previous therapies, self-help books, and endless podcasts, hoping to make the changes you need. But if you’re reading this, it means those activities didn’t fix things. My way is different. We’ll work together in a way that genuinely honors you—your needs, your worth, and the balance you’re ready to create.

Here, therapy means more than just talking—it means taking actionable strides that lead to real progress.

Through our work, we’ll connect the dots from the past to the present and turn these insights into a meaningful path towards purposeful transformation.

Emotions are part of our experience but not the whole picture – Together, we’ll learn to make room for our feelings and to gently step beyond these feelings, creating space for lasting change.

What clients have shared

While I can’t share specific things clients have said due to confidentiality, I can share the general themes of what my clients have said.

I set my boundaries and they didn't hate me!

My family is helping out more, I feel like I really to have a partnership with my significant other and I feel so grounded and relaxed.

It was initially a struggle at work but now people are doing their work and my boss is noticing my contributions.

This is what I can tell you

If you’re ready to stop of the cycle of saying yes to others and no to yourself, I’m here.

You are allowed to reach a balance that honors your needs and other’s wants
You are allowed to say no without guilt and anxiety
You are allowed to take time for self-care

Yeah but…

You might think, “I should be able to handle this myself” and you’ve tried but it hasn’t worked. Let me be the guide to cheer you on and hold you accountable so that the changes stick.

You might worry, “what if I change and others don’t like it?” In general, there will be some people who will not like your boundaries. But those are the ones that use you and don’t have your best interests at heart. What I can tell you is that you’ll deepen the relationships where people care about you as a person and not what you have to offer to them.

You might feel guilty about the time and money you spend on yourself. Therapy is an investment, just like your retirement. The more you invest now, the more you can reap the rewards of living your best life.

My type of therapy is for you if:

You’re ready to get unstuck and take action to move forward, not just talk about it

You want to own your own growth and break the cycle of they ask, you give.

However, this may not be for you if:

You want to spend time talking and dissecting the whys and reasons of other people.

You only want to focus on reliving the past without making changes in the present and future

Just Another Day or Day One?

Imagine your life feeling like it belongs to you again. Moments when you can rest without the familiar worry creeping in, without the sense that you’re letting someone down. In this new reality, you would feel steady and supported. You’d have the space to be who you are with no need to prove your worth through self-sacrifice or constant giving.

Now, imagine if you did nothing today and you continue to be exhausted, overworked and filled with anxiety about letting people down.

Yeah, your future self doesn’t want to be the same situation with the same problems six months from now. Your future self is begging you to not wait and make a choice to work with me today.
