At Seeking Self PLLC, I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves and move beyond the patterns that have kept them stuck in self-doubt, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm.
Here to help you overcome the challenges that keep you stuck.
-
Do you find yourself caught in endless loops of analysis, replaying conversations, and worrying about what you said or did? Overthinking often stems from a need to control outcomes or protect yourself from judgment. It's an attempt to be "perfect" or "prepared," but it usually leaves you exhausted and no closer to a decision.
In therapy, we explore what drives this pattern. What are you afraid of? What would happen if you made a "wrong" choice? As you understand the roots of your overthinking, we work together to build confidence in your own judgment and learn to sit with uncertainty—which is where actual peace lives.
How the Seeking Self Process helps: Through awareness, acknowledgment, and acceptance, you'll recognize the protective function of overthinking and learn new ways to move forward with clarity and trust.

If you struggle to say no, find yourself over-extending, and often feel resentful afterward, people-pleasing may be playing a significant role in your life. This pattern often develops early—perhaps you learned that your value depended on being "good," helpful, or managing others' emotions.
People-pleasing feels protective in the moment, but it comes at a cost: you lose touch with your own needs, build resentment, and struggle with authentic relationships. Therapy helps you understand why saying no feels so threatening and how to build boundaries that honor both yourself and others.
How the Seeking Self Process helps: We explore the roots of your people-pleasing, acknowledge the survival purpose it served, and practice taking aligned action—saying yes to what matters and no to what doesn't.

Anxiety shows up in many ways—as persistent worry, physical tension, social anxiety, or a pervasive sense of dread. Underneath anxiety often lives self-doubt: a question about whether you're "good enough," whether you can handle what's ahead, or whether others will accept you as you are.
When anxiety and self-doubt feed each other, it becomes a cycle that's hard to break alone. Therapy offers a collaborative space to understand what's driving your anxiety, to challenge the stories you tell yourself about your worth, and to build genuine confidence—not forced positivity, but real trust in your ability to navigate life.
How the Seeking Self Process helps: We work through awareness of your anxiety patterns, acknowledge what they're protecting you from, cultivate acceptance of uncertainty, and take brave action toward the life you want.

Early adulthood brings unique challenges: you're navigating new roles, managing expectations (both your own and others'), discovering who you are outside of school, and making big decisions about career, relationships, and your future. It's a lot. And if you tend toward overthinking, people-pleasing, or anxiety, these transitions can feel overwhelming.
Many young professionals find themselves trying to be "everything to everyone," following a path that looks good on paper but doesn't feel authentic. Therapy helps you slow down, get clear on what you actually want, and build the confidence to pursue a life that feels genuinely yours—not someone else's version of success.
How the Seeking Self Process helps: We explore the voices and expectations you've internalized, acknowledge what's been driving your choices, release what isn't yours, and take action aligned with your own values and vision.
If something else is weighing on you, I welcome that too.
You do not have to fit neatly into a category to benefit from therapy. If you are carrying something that is affecting your peace, relationships, or sense of self, we can explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
