If this feels familiar...
-
Feeling like you've lost touch with yourself.
-
Wondering why everyone else seems to be handling life better than you are.
-
You're constantly keeping score with your partner.
-
Caught in anxiety, perfectionism, or the feeling that you're never doing enough
-
Obsessively calculating how little sleep you've been getting.
-
Snapping at your toddler—and feeling guilty the second it happens.
-
Struggling to adjust after a promotion, a move, a breakup, a loss, or becoming a caregiver.
-
Wondering why a change you chose still feels so overwhelming.
-
Feeling pressure to "bounce back" long before your heart or nervous system are ready.
-
Thinking, "Shouldn't I be over this by now?"
You're in the right place.
Imagine instead...
-
Drinking your coffee before it gets cold because your mind isn't racing through everything that still needs to be done.
-
Feeling like you and your partner are working together instead of quietly keeping score.
-
Advocating for the support you and your family actually need—without feeling guilty for asking.
-
Feeling yourself begin to lose patience...and still having enough space to respond with compassion.
-
Trusting that healing doesn't have a six-week deadline.
-
Giving yourself permission to integrate a major life change over years instead of expecting yourself to "get back to normal."
-
Feeling grounded enough to enjoy ordinary moments again.
-
Knowing that uncertainty doesn't mean you're doing something wrong.

Therapy for Anxiety and Perfectionism
Hi, I'm Brooke.
I'm a therapist and a parent of two tiny humans in Bellingham WA. I specialize in helping women move through pregnancy, postpartum, and major life transitions with more self-compassion and less pressure to be perfect. My approach is warm, holistic, feminist, and grounded in the belief that you don't have to become a better version of yourself to deserve support.
The way I practice therapy is grounded in a few core beliefs.
-
I believe that life transitions aren't interruptions to who we are—they reshape us.
-
I believe our culture asks women to carry impossible expectations while offering far too little support.
-
I believe you deserve compassion long before you've "earned" it by reaching the other side.
-
Healing isn't about getting back to who you were. It's about making space for who you're becoming.
