I work with adults who are carrying more than their share—at home, at work, and in their family line. On the outside, you look capable (aka “It’s fine”). Inside, it can feel like you’re treading water while juggling:
• Invisible emotional and logistical labor
• Old loyalty binds and unspoken rules that go back generations
• A nervous system that’s been on high alert for years
In our work, we’ll name those inherited patterns without blaming or shaming anyone, and focus on what’s actually possible for you now—so you’re not organizing your entire life around keeping the peace for others, and can begin to experience some calm and some peace of your own.
Relationship therapy for thoughtful adults who carry too much
You’re the one who keeps things running—emotionally and logistically—while old family patterns and a tired nervous system call the shots behind the scenes. It’s exhausting and frustrating, and it can feel impossible to catch a breath while still keeping your head above water.
How we can work together
Therapy with me is structured, conversational, and grounded in real life. We’ll look beneath the surface of what you’ve been carrying across family, work, and relationships, and build concrete tools for saying what you mean, setting limits, and staying connected without over-functioning. You don’t have to keep bearing the brunt of it the way you always have.
Individual Relationship Therapy
For thoughtful adults who are exhausted by carrying everyone else’s emotional weight, including long-standing family patterns. In our work, we’ll slow things down, name what’s been shaping your relationships behind the scenes, and support new ways of relating—to yourself and to others—that feel more sustainable.
Couples & Partners Therapy
Support for couples and partners who care deeply about each other but feel stuck in the same fights, distance, or silence. In our work, we’ll slow things down and look at who pursues, who pulls back, where invisible labor piles up, and how old stories and nervous system responses keep showing up in the present—so you both feel clearer, more honest, and less alone with the hard parts of your relationship.
Focused Relational Consultation
Short-term, focused support for a specific concern—such as a relationship pattern, family dynamic, boundary decision, or major transition. We’ll slow things down, map what’s happening, and clarify the pressures you’re under, so you can take grounded next steps with more clarity and less emotional static.
If you’d like to explore working together, the first step is a short consultation. We’ll look at what’s bringing you in, what you hope for, and whether my style feels like a good fit—for you, your relationships, and your season of life.

About Leah
Hi, I’m Leah. I’m glad you’re here. I work with thoughtful adults who look “together” on the outside but feel quietly overrun on the inside.
My work focuses on the overlap between your history, nervous system, and current relationships—especially legacy patterns, invisible labor, and boundary guilt.
Therapy with me is conversational, practical, and honest: no forced positivity. Just a steady space to sort out what’s actually yours to carry and what you’re ready to set down.
