Therapy for the ones who hold it all together.
Serving Massachusetts, Rhode Island, & Oregon
A space for helping professionals, deep-thinking moms, & creatives to navigate burnout, untangle worth from productivity, and rediscover who they are in this season of life.
To the one who takes care of everyone else —
It’s a familiar rhythm: the harsh self-criticism, getting stuck in “anxiety spirals,” and feeling like there’s not much time for yourself. When your life is built around holding space and problem solving for others, it’s easy to feel stretched and lost.
When we first meet, you may find it difficult to slow down and be present. Your mind might be racing to the next crisis or project to be handled.
Always Fixing
You may be caught up in “please or fix” patterns in your relationships, leading to burnout and resentment. You worry that being drained is just your new normal.
Stepping out of these survival patterns can be terrifying, but you don’t want it to always be this way.
How We Work Together
My approach is intentional, compassionate, and honors your lived experience and inner knowing — because yes, you do have a knowing.
Release What’s Stuck: We’ll work to process past experiences — including trauma — so your nervous system can move out of being on high alert, lessening the impact on your daily life and relationships.
Unhooking from Perfection: We’ll practice stepping out of the pressure of perfection and systemic burnout to reconnect with what actually matters to you.
We Weren’t Meant to Hold it all Alone
Experiencing more peace and mental clarity is possible. Taking a pause to ask for support isn’t a sign that you’re failing at your job or motherhood; it’s a form of strength.
We weren’t meant to do this work in isolation.
If you’d like to work toward meaningful and sustainable change, I’d be happy to help.
Does this sound like you?
You might:
Chronically overthink. You get stuck in “analysis paralysis,” playing out every scenario.
Feel “tired but wired.” You feel exhausted, but your brain won’t let you rest.
Live in the “shoulds.” You struggle with self-doubt or imposter syndrome and feel like you’re never doing enough.
Have a shorter fuse. You feel irritable or snap easily at others.
Defaulting to “yes.” You have a hard time saying “no” to requests even at your own expense.
View rest as a chore. You find it challenging to slow down or simply be.
Feel like a stranger to yourself. You don’t recognize yourself in this season of life.
Hi, I’m Nicole, LMHC, LPC
How We Work Together
My practice focuses on supporting women in high-stress, giving fields — nursing, education, social work — as they navigate burnout, identity shifts, and societal pressure.
I use traditional talk therapy and Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR (S.A.F.E) to help clients find relief and reconnect with themselves. Although there’s no one-size-fits-all-approach…
Focuses may include:
Attachment: Attending to early relational wounds that can resurface in parenting or influence patterns of over-functioning.
Somatic Awareness: Helping professionals and moms can carry the weight of their world in their bodies. We’ll work with your nervous system to release stored tension.
Values Alignment: With the demands that are inherent in caring for others, it can be easy to get a little lost. We work to clarify what’s actually important to you and align actions with what matters.
Together, we’ll work on quieting the noise of anxiety and helping you feel more grounded and present in your own life.
