BECAUSE YOU’RE HARDWORKING AND [TOO] HARD ON YOURSELF

You have been working your butt off…

Keeping everything together… You’re the one in the family or friend group who is the Cruise Director.  You make the plans, book the appointments, and always follow through. You’re really good at what you do, but when things don’t go as planned or fall into place, it hits you.  You feel like a failure…and you hate it.

You work a respected and professional job… Maybe you are a business person, in the military, a clinician/medical provider, or a teacher.  Or maybe, you are retired, changing careers, or figuring out what’s next. Perhaps, you are in school and studying hard for your path in life…so you’re not afraid of hard work or sacrifice in the service of others, but it’s frustrating as hell when your hard work doesn’t actually measure up to the [very high] standards that you set for yourself. 

As a mom, you are the cornerstone of your family’s life… balancing countless responsibilities with grace and determination. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, juggling the needs of your children and household, or a working mom, managing both career and family, your dedication is unwavering. You’re no stranger to hard work and sacrifice, pouring your heart into every task, but it’s incredibly frustrating when your efforts don’t seem to make a difference.

You handle it all – and make it look effortless…  You work hard to prove that you are capable and competent. When someone has an issue – you drop everything to be there and be the problem solver.  You’re actually starting to get frustrated that no one else seems to jump into action the way you do.  You’re tired and starting to think maybe it’s time you got some support too.

Maybe you are trying to figure out…

  • How to manage all of your responsibilities – get all the things done
  • How to not screw up your relationships – as a parent, a friend, or a partner 
  • What’s next for you…after a big change like retirement, divorce, or graduation
  • Life… like all of it.  Need I say more?

You just want to feel better

Licensed Psychologist in North Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, and the participating PSYPACT states.

Hi, I'm Dr. Leah

I help hardworking teens and adults to be less hard on themselves

If you’re ready to feel better, I’m here to help.  Let’s get real about what’s going on so you can get real results.  I get it.  At times, life gets messy.  I can help you find ways to cut through the noise and chaos so that you can take back control of your life.  I know what it’s like to be tough on yourself and that it’s a one-way ticket to exhaustion & overwhelm.  You’re a hard worker but you also tend to over do it and get  blinded by your own high standards.  If you’re willing to slow down, I can help you learn to live with less stress.  You deserve to celebrate your hard-earned successes and be truly present for the good things in life.

Stress, Anxiety, and Burnout

When it feels like you’re constantly “on” and always falling short, it’s time for support that actually helps you find balance. Let’s tackle the overwhelm together, so you can feel in control and recharged.

Anxious Women

Juggling everything while staying calm feels impossible—but it doesn’t have to be. Therapy can help you handle the stress, connect with what matters most, and feel like yourself again.

Emerging Adults

Becoming an adult can feel very overwhelming. Are you feeling the pressure of independence, juggling responsibilities, and striving to be successful? Together, we can work on those what ifs and develop tools to help navigate this new stage of life.

Teens

Being a teenager is not easy! Feeling like you can’t figure out what’s going on with your kid? Maybe you find yourself struggling to manage all of the pressures related to school, friends, and figuring out who you are. Let’s work together to manage the ups and downs and figure this stuff out.

Parenting Support

If you’re feeling frustrated and worn out from managing your child’s behavior, you’re not alone. Let’s work together to find real strategies that bring more calm, balance, and connection to your family.

Asking for help can be challenging and finding the right person to work with can sometimes feel like a chore. But, it does not have to be either of those things. My ultimate goal is to help you become a happier, healthier, more satisfied you. Some days, life can feel totally overwhelming. There are times when we find ourselves in a loop of emotional ups and downs or repeatedly engaging in unhelpful behavior patterns. We may feel confused or lost with no idea how to move forward or make a change. That is how I can help. Together, we will help you learn to cope and manage more effectively and ultimately, you will learn to take better control of yourself.

Stories of Success

How does it work?

  1. SCHEDULE A FREE CONSULTATION: Let’s begin with a 15-minute call to meet and get to know one another.  Tell me a bit about yourself and see if I’m the type of therapist that you’re looking for.

  2. PUT EXHAUSTION TO BED: During our meetings I will be down-to-earth and what-you-see-is-what-you-get.  My goal is to help you take off the Cruise Director hat so you can disentangle from the pressures of life…so that you can actually start to enjoy it.

  3. PERMISSION TO BE HUMAN: You get permission to have bad days & need support sometimes. This doesn’t make you weak, it’s the opposite – it will help you embrace more of your power.

It’s time to take control of your life & live like the rockstar you are!

Good Faith Estimate Disclaimer:

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
