Real Results.
Lasting Change.



Therapy for high-achievers, perfectionists, and people-pleasers who never feel like they've done enough and want to leave anxiety behind. For good.

Life looks “good” from the outside, but inside it feels anything but.

You’re thoughtful, capable, and outwardly successful. While inside, you feel anxious, burned out, or stuck.

You don’t need to keep pushing through. You need support from someone who actually understands what you’re carrying.

Online therapy for anxiety and pressure to get it right

You’re living under the constant pressure to get it right

Like no matter what you do, it’s never quite enough. You get stuck in overthinking, preparing, analyzing, trying to make the “right” decisions and prevent mistakes from ever happening. Then second-guessing, and reviewing your every interaction and conversation looking for what you did wrong. This pattern has left you feeling anxious, guilty, and disappointed in yourself.

Your relationships are overwhelming too.  You give so much and ask so little. Spend so much time anticipating how others might feel while nobody seems to consider what you need. You know you need to stop people-pleasing and set boundaries, but you’re not sure what that would look like or where to even begin.

You’re accustomed to being the one others count on. The reliable one. Dependable. Yet inside, you feel unfulfilled. The state of constant monitoring, the anxiety, the stress, it’s gotten to the point where it feels impossible to hold it together anymore..

Sound like you?

Feeling better is possible. I am a therapist for adults in California who can help you to get to the source of what you’re experiencing.  I can help you find the root of what is going on so you can finally feel better, Imagine feeling a sense of calm in the face of stress, confidence in your ability to manage whatever comes your way, and connected and supported by those closest to you.

Hey, I'm Caroline!

I believe that everyone has the right to find freedom from the grip of anxiety, self-doubt, and overwhelm.

I provide insight-oriented therapy and Brainspotting for women in California struggling with anxiety and burnout. Together, we can find the confidence and support you need to get to the root of the overthinking and worry that keep you feeling stuck and small.

I can help you learn the tools to manage anxiety and self-doubt, bringing more joy and connection into your life, without constantly worrying about how you will manage whatever challenge is coming next. Together we can work to unburden you from the anxiety that keeps you feeling disconnected from yourself and others, connect with your values, and cultivate a sense of confidence and self-worth that allows you to live the life you’ve dreamed of.

My clients and I connect because I believe in their resilience and capacity for change. I am able to support them as they chart a new path and learn to think about themselves and their story in new ways. It is my goal for all of my clients to experience the powerful life change that comes through counseling and Brainspotting therapy.
