Helping burned out, anxious Gen Xers & elder Millennials live intentionally
Slow down and break free from the hustle and grind
My clients are like you: the grown kids of the 70s and 80s who are trying to figure out this phase of life.
Despite being high-achieving at work, good at getting things done, and having people in their lives who care about them, they feel unsatisfied with life and disconnected from what matters most to them.
Their minds are always swirling with long to-do lists waiting for them at work and at home.
They are exhausted and burned out from prioritizing everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.
They feel anxious and on edge all the time.
They are last on their lists, and there’s never any time or energy left at the end of the day to address their own needs.
Saying “no” feels impossible and disappointing others is not an option.
Does this sound familiar?
For my clients who have children, balancing work and parenting feels like a no-win situation. They feel like they’re failing at work and at home. They think something is wrong with them because the other moms in the carpool and their colleagues don’t seem to be struggling like they are — and they don’t feel good enough.
Even though they “did everything right” and did everything they were “supposed to do,” they still feel unfulfilled, anxious, and isolated. They feel guilty for not being satisfied with what they have. They feel selfish for wanting more from life.
Before my clients come to see me, they know that something has to change. Something has to give—but what? Because they are self-sufficient, admitting they need help figuring out what needs to change is painfully hard.
Like my clients, your needs matter. You deserve time and space to take care of yourself.
Hi! I’m Nicole.
I specialize in therapy for anxiety, burnout, and stress.
I’m a queer, 40-something extroverted introvert. This stage of life has us primed for burnout–I’ve been there and know how to help you recover. I work with folks who are serious about rethinking the status quo, learning how to approach anxiety and stress differently, and spending their time more meaningfully. In therapy, I’ll help you get clear on what matters most to you so you can build your life around those things so you feel more fulfilled.
How I work
Give yourself an hour to think about what’s possible.
Let’s slow things down for a moment. This is your chance to pause, reflect on what matters most to you, and realign how you move through the world — both in how you treat yourself and how you show up in your relationships. When you give yourself space to do this work, you create the possibility for a life that feels more intentional and true to who you are. I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
