Therapy can help you understand why you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or resentful — and support you in responding differently, not just trying harder.

At Rosebud Psychotherapy, I commonly work with clients who are struggling with:

• Chronic anxiety or nervous system overwhelm

• People-pleasing and difficulty saying no

• Over-functioning in relationships or work

• Perfectionism and harsh self-criticism

• Burnout, emotional exhaustion, or resentment

• Boundary challenges with family, partners, or work

Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you feel safer in your body, clearer in your choices, and more connected to what actually matters to you.

People-pleasing is a pattern of prioritizing others’ needs, emotions, or expectations at the expense of your own — often to avoid conflict, rejection, or disappointment.

Over time, this creates anxiety because your nervous system is constantly scanning for how others feel instead of tuning into your own needs. Many people-pleasing behaviors began as survival strategies in relationships where emotional safety or consistency wasn’t guaranteed.

Therapy helps you understand why these patterns developed — and gently practice new ways of relating that don’t require self-abandonment.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in both emotional and nervous system awareness.

I integrate:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Somatic and body-based awareness

• Mindful Self-Compassion

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

• Feminist and anti-oppressive frameworks

Sessions often include a mix of reflection, skill-building, emotional processing, and noticing what’s happening in your body — not just your thoughts.

This work is collaborative, paced, and respectful of your autonomy.

I specialize in working with:

• Adult women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s

• High-achieving, thoughtful, and emotionally aware clients

• People who give a lot to others and struggle to receive

• Clients who value insight and practical tools

• Feminist, social-justice-oriented individuals

You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy. Curiosity and willingness are enough.

I offer individual, intensive, and group therapy options:

• Individual therapy for anxiety, people-pleasing, and burnout

• Women’s process group for anxiety and relational patterns

• DBT skills group (all genders)

• Dungeons and Dragon Therapy Group for Adults

• Intensives (90 minutes or longer) to help you get deeper, faster

I also offer couples counseling, specifically premarital and pre-commitment therapy.

Sessions are offered in-person in Marietta, GA and virtually for clients across Georgia.

Therapy may be a good fit if you’re tired of pushing through, minimizing your needs, or waiting for things to “settle down.”

You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many clients come because they want:

• More emotional ease

• Healthier boundaries

• Less guilt and self-criticism

• More fulfilling relationships

• A stronger connection to themselves

If that resonates, we can explore working together.
