Therapy For Anxious People-Pleasers Who Are Ready to Prioritize Themselves

Welcome - I’m so glad you’re here

You’ve spent years shrinking, shape-shifting, and taking care of everyone but yourself.


Maybe you learned to stay quiet, keep the peace, and say yes when you meant no.

You’re exhausted from being “the strong one” and wondering why you still feel anxious, resentful, or stuck—even when you’re doing everything “right.”

You’re not broken. You’re in survival mode.


And therapy can help you step into a version of yourself that feels grounded, confident, and whole.

Therapy can help you break the cycle

You might be:

  • Saying yes when you want to say no

  • Feeling resentful but afraid to rock the boat

  • Walking on eggshells in relationships

  • Unsure how to speak up without sounding “mean”

  • Stuck in a cycle of burnout and emotional overload

Together, we’ll work on:

  • Building your confidence and sense of self-worth

  • Setting boundaries that protect your time, energy, and peace

  • Letting go of guilt, shame, and people-pleasing patterns

  • Learning how to communicate clearly and assertively

  • Understanding where your anxiety comes from—and how to manage it

I Specialize In….

  • You feel like your mind is always racing—replaying conversations, imagining worst-case scenarios, or second-guessing everything you say or do. Anxiety can feel like living in a constant state of “what if,” and it can leave you mentally drained and emotionally disconnected. Therapy helps you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and build trust in yourself and your ability to handle life’s uncertainty.

  • You say yes when you want to say no. You avoid conflict, minimize your needs, and overextend yourself to earn approval. Deep down, you might feel like your worth depends on being liked, needed, or easygoing. In therapy, you’ll learn how to separate your value from your performance—and start honoring your needs without guilt or shame.

  • Whether it’s struggling to speak up, feeling guilty when you do, or fearing how others will react—setting boundaries can feel impossible. You may feel responsible for others’ emotions or afraid of being seen as "mean" or "selfish." Therapy helps you build the confidence to communicate clearly, assert your needs, and stop abandoning yourself in conversations and relationships.

  • You may have grown up in a home where your emotional needs were ignored, minimized, or met with unpredictability. Maybe no one taught you how to name your feelings—or that they even mattered. Therapy creates a space to reconnect with the parts of you that were dismissed or hidden, and helps you develop a secure relationship with yourself.

  • You feel overly responsible for others—whether it’s fixing, rescuing, or caretaking. Your mood might depend on how others are feeling, and you may struggle to know where you end and they begin. Therapy supports you in untangling your identity from others’ needs so you can create healthier, more balanced relationships—without losing yourself in the process.

  • “I had never been to therapy before, so I was naturally nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I was instantly made to feel like I was supported and in a safe space. Jess is patient and kind, while still always pushing me to dive deeper into the issues I was there to address. I truly appreciate all the strategies and insight that she has provided me with, and I am much better off because of our time working together.”

  • “Jess is wonderful. My concerns were so complex, and I really dig deep with societal conventions, spiritual and philosophical values, relationship troubles, and career choices. She didn’t miss a beat. She offered wise and insightful suggestions and input, which I appreciate greatly. I wasn’t looking for someone to just complain to… I needed collaboration, perspective, opinions, and feedback. She gave me exactly that, all while remaining kind, empathetic, and completely non-judgmental. She can be trusted to bring you out of any dark spell.”

  • “Jessica is great at really understanding what I’m feeling and why I’m feeling it. She offers not just explanations but actual practices or exercises to feel better. She listens to me without judgement or jumping to any conclusions/labels about my character.”

  • “Jessica has been a great support for me, mirroring and understanding me, helping me see things from others’ perspectives that were beyond my frame of reference, helping me feel like I’m not crazy or weak but struggling with very difficult things.”

  • “Jessica has been a breathe of fresh air to my relationship. She has listened, remembered the many details exchanged and provided a healthy approach to our issues. I have already recommended her to a friend!”

  • “Jessica is truly non-judgmental. She listens to whatever is going on with you, is empathetic and comes up with some type of solution. Sometimes people need more than talking it out. She has provided me with worksheets that make communication even deeper!”

It can be overwhelming to know where to begin when you finally take that first step to put yourself first. If you’re not sure what your goals are — or where to even begin — that’s 100% okay. I’m here to help you figure it all out.

For Therapists Ready to Expand

I help therapists go from solo to group practice—with clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually works. If you’re a successful solo practitioner feeling maxed out, overwhelmed, or unsure how to scale without burning out, I offer coaching that supports you through every step of the transition.

What I can help with:

  • Knowing when you’re truly ready to hire

  • Building the foundation for a sustainable group practice

  • Creating systems, structure, and culture that reflect your values

  • Navigating the emotional side of leadership and delegation

  • Avoiding common (and costly) mistakes

You don’t have to figure it all out alone—and you don’t have to do it like everyone else.

You're allowed to dream bigger and feel grounded while doing it.
