					<description><![CDATA[<p>Overthinking, people pleasing, navigating burnout, or presenting “fine on the outside” but overwhelmed inside can feel exhausting. I work with perfectionists, overachievers, caregivers, and anyone feeling stuck in old patterns or disconnected. My approach is direct, authentic, and trauma-informed. Collaboratively, we can untangle what’s happening beneath the surface, unlearn what isn’t yours, and update patterns [&#8230;]</p>
