Running on Empty with a Smile on Your Face
It’s 7:00 a.m., and you’re already behind.
The group text is buzzing, your inbox is overflowing, and your partner just asked if you picked up the dry cleaning.
You scroll Instagram while reheating your coffee for the third time… trying to remember if you responded to the text, answered that email, or just dreamt it.
Your chest is tight, your jaw clenched, and you are wondering if this is anxiety or a hot flash.
And your brain is running disaster drills:
What if I forget something important?
What if everything falls apart?
What if I am the problem?
You’re the one everyone counts on—but lately, you don’t know how much longer you can hold it all together.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle.
You’re in midlife, juggling a career, family, and aging parents, and holding it all together feels like an extra full-time job.
On the outside maybe, it looks effortless.
On the inside? Not so much.
Your brain WON'T.
SHUT. UP...
You’re overthinking, second-guessing, worrying if you’re enough—for everyone.
At 3 a.m., you’re replaying yesterday and dreading tomorrow. You are stuck in a loop of “What if this happens?” and “I am doing enough?”
It’s not just in your head—your body’s carrying it too.
Tight chest. Clenched jaw. Exhaustion sleep can’t touch.
Anxiety can feels like racing thoughts, a pounding heart, and always bracing for the worst.
Add on some symptoms of menopause or perimenopause and you start to feel like you are going to lose your mind.
It doesn’t have to be like this.
Peace is possible—and you don’t have to find it alone.
You’re Exhausted, Anxious, and Done Pretending You’re Fine.
Imagine Starting the Day Rooted in Peace, Not Panic
Imagine waking up and not immediately bracing for the day (not checking your calendar, social media or your to do list)
You stretch. You breathe. You feel… grounded. Not because your to-do list disappeared—but because you’re no longer drowning in it.
What if you could feel more like you, present, calm, and connected.
What if the pressure could softened? The panic could quiet. And for the first time in a long time, there’s space for your needs, too.
You can start the day rooted in yourself. You can protect your peace.
In Therapy, We Gently Untangle the Overwhelm That's Been Weighing You Down.
This shift doesn’t come from hustling harder or adding another productivity hack. It comes from finally being able to exhale.
In therapy, we gently work with the patterns that have kept you stuck in survival mode for years. Using EMDR, Brainspotting, and Trauma Informed CBT, we create space to feel what you’ve been carrying—and slowly release it.
You don’t have to hold it all together here.
You get to show up exactly as you are—tired, tender, even slightly unraveling.
And in that space, real healing begins.
Hi, I’m Keely!
I work with women who are always the ones holding it all together...until it starts getting impossible.
If you’re juggling everything and still feeling like you’re running on empty inside, you’re not alone.
On the outside you look like you’re holding everything together, but inside you’re anxious, bone-deep tired, and gently asking yourself, ‘When is it my turn to rest?"‘
My approach is warm, grounded, and trauma-informed…no pressure, no pretense. Just a soft place to exhale.
Using EMDR, Brainspotting, and deep nervous system work, we gently untangle the old patterns keeping you stuck in survival mode.
Together, we’ll quiet the noise of not being enough, loosen the grip of perfectionism, and gently soften the weight of self-criticism so you can finally feel grounded,
A Glimpse of Life on the Other Side of Overwhelm
imagine if …
You woke up without a tight chest or racing mind. You stretch, breathe, and actually feel rested.
You didn’t launch into your mental checklist—meetings, groceries, parent check-ins, kid logistics.
You didn’t immediately reach for your phone or scroll through your calendar.
You still have a to-do list—but it doesn’t own you. You’re not waking up already behind.
You sipped your coffee while it’s still hot and realize… you can feel calm.
Instead, you pause.
You started your day with yourself—not your tasks.
You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
When Therapy (And Self-Help) Haven’t Worked
If you’ve tried therapy before and didn’t feel real change, it’s understandable to feel discouraged. Maybe you left with a few tools, but not lasting relief.
You’ve journaled, meditated, read the books, listened to the podcasts, even tried the “Let Them” theory and countdown tricks. And for a while, it helped… a little.
But deep down, you’ve realized it’s not that simple.
You don’t need more tips.
Here, you can set it all down and slowly reconnect with what’s been hidden underneath the busyness
That’s where my approach is different. We go deeper—into the body, the wiring, and the patterns formed long before now. With EMDR, Brainspotting, and trauma-informed CBT, we gently shift what’s been stuck—not just in your mind, but in your nervous system.
What My Clients Say About Our Work Together
In the world of therapy, confidentiality isn’t just a guideline—it’s a sacred promise. This is why I don’t solicit testimonials.
Over the many years I’ve been in private practice, clients have shared heartfelt reflections in sessions, emails, and handwritten notes—words that reflect their healing journeys and our work together.
Below are paraphrased quotes, shared with love and gratitude:
You Don’t Have to Keep Holding It All Together
If you see yourself in these words, know this:
You’re not failing. You’re just tired from being everything to everyone.
You don’t have to keep pushing through. You don’t have to do it alone.
Time and again, I’ve sat with women just like you: capable, compassionate, and silently running on empty
And I’ve watched what happens when they finally have space to just be.
This is that space. A place to come back to yourself.
If you’re ready to feel like you again, I’m here.
“Yeah, but…”
If you're still here, something in you is ready for change. But I know that even now, your mind might be swirling with doubts.

Totally valid. You’ve likely done the journaling, the mindfulness, the books—and still felt stuck. Here’s what’s different: This isn’t a quick fix or a checkbox kind of therapy. It’s not about tools you won’t use. It’s about getting underneath the pressure, the patterns, the pain—and making space to actually feel different.
-
You’re used to holding it all together. And truthfully, you could keep going. But what if you didn’t have to? What if you let yourself feel supported, and seen, not because you’re falling apart, but because you deserve more than survival?
-
That fear you’re feeling? It’s real.
You’ve been the steady one for everyone else for so long, and now it's your turn. We go slow. You stay in control. And you’re never alone in the process.We take time to slow down and look underneath the surface. Together, we’ll notice the patterns that keep showing up—whether it's in relationships, your self-talk, or the way you respond when life gets overwhelming. We’ll connect the dots between past experiences and your current feelings and behaviors, making space for deeper understanding and lasting change.
So that you can finally stop bracing for impact, and start living with more freedom, clarity, and trust in yourself.
-
Yep. Your schedule is a full-time job on its own. But how much time are you losing to overthinking, exhaustion, or sleepless nights? This is time that gives back—clearing space in your mind, body, and life. It’s not “just one more thing”—it’s the thing that helps everything else feel lighter.
-
It’s true—therapy is an investment. But so is everything else you’ve tried to feel better—wine, skincare, late-night Amazon therapy sessions. This is different. This is about healing, not just coping. And you’re worth the investment. Your peace is worth it.
-
This one sneaks in quietly, doesn’t it? You minimize your pain because you’re the strong one. But exhaustion is a valid reason to reach out. Disconnection, burnout, and quiet grief are reasons, too. You don’t need a crisis to deserve care.
-
Ah, the silent comparison game. But here’s the truth: You’re only seeing their highlight reels. You’re not broken. You’re not weak. You’re just tired. And you deserve support, too.
-
Let me be clear: this is not a space for shame. You don’t need to impress me or prove anything here. You get to come exactly as you are—messy, uncertain, unraveling or perfectly put together sister. And I’ll meet you there with compassion, not critique.
-
You’ve kept so much inside for so long, of course it feels risky to let it out. But we don’t rush. You don’t have to spill it all at once. We build safety first, then we go deeper, together when you are ready.
-
Totally normal. Most of my clients feel that way at first. You don’t need perfect words or a polished story. Just come as you are—I’ll help you find the language when you're ready.
Still not sure? That’s okay.
Book a free video consultation. No pressure, No commitment. Just a real conversation to explore if this could be the beginning of something better.
“Is This Therapy the Right Fit for You?”
Therapy is a commitment. It’s not just of time and money, but of energy, honesty, and heart. This work is deep. But it is transformative. Let’s see if this space is the right one for you right now.
This is for you if...
You’ve been the strong one for too long—and you’re ready to be supported
You’re navigating midlife changes and feel unmoored or invisible.
You’re tired of performing “fine” and craving something real.
You want more than tools—you want healing that reaches your body and soul.
You’re open to EMDR, Brainspotting, and a whole-person approach to healing.
You’re ready to explore your patterns and shift the way you show up—for you.
This might not be for you if...…
You’re looking for a quick fix or surface-level coping strategies
You’re not ready to slow down or feel your emotions.
You want advice or direction without doing deeper reflection.
You’re in a crisis that requires immediate or emergency support.
You’re hoping someone else will change so you don’t have to.
Right now, you might be thinking, “This sounds right… I’ll reach out next week. Maybe once things calm down.”
But let’s be real—when do things ever truly calm down?
Imagine six months from now. Still exhausted. Still stuck in the same anxious loops. Still holding everything together while quietly unraveling. Still waking up dreading the day—because there’s no space for you in any of it.
Now imagine a different path, one where you feel more grounded, less reactive, more you. Where your nervous system feels safe. Where you’re sleeping better, snapping less, connecting more. Where you no longer feel like a stranger in your own life.
