A Crafty Anxiety & ADHD Therapist in SC

Your brain finally feels like a place you wanna be.

There’s a difference between having a life that looks fine from the outside and creating a life that fits like your favorite sweater - handmade, uniquely shaped, perfectly suiting you.

hey brilliant burnout babe, you

I know how terrifying it is to look around your life and think, “how the hell did this get so loud?”
Not just in your house, but in your head.
You’re juggling routines, reminders, and repressed emotions like it’s your side hustle.

You keep panic-Googling “why can’t I stick to anything” at 1am with a face mask on and laundry piles giving you side-eye. You’ve got a new planner, five abandoned Notion templates, and a nervous system that’s been running on 3% since 2019.

And don’t forget your inner crew:

  • Self-Doubt (chronically online)

  • Imposter Syndrome (with a PhD in subtle sabotage)

  • The Overfunctioner (who thinks if you just find the right system, everything will click into place)

Meanwhile, your body’s like: “I need a nap, a scream, a snack, and maybe a decade sabbatical.”

You keep swearing you’ll “get your sh*t together” after this week, after this launch, after this hormone cycle.
But deep down—waaaay down, like “there’s-a-watercolor-you-painted-under-your-bed” down—you know this isn’t working.

You know you’re meant for more than just managing the chaos.
You know there's a version of you who’s not always braced for impact.

what do you need support with?

  • A woman with brown hair buries her face in her hands. You can see she's wearing rings and a watch, and in the blurred background is a window and pillow. Representing the overwhelm women with anxiety and ADHD feel before online therapy.

    Overthinking Tangle

    Your brain has 67 tabs open at all times. Replaying conversations, collecting lists, and keeping track of all your ‘shoulds’. You’re being responsible. But it feels more and more like you’re being crushed by your own brain.

  • You see two people across each other, holding hands on top of the table. The woman's hand has a wedding ring, and two coffee cups and a vase of flowers are also showing. Representing the relationship struggles women with ADHD and anxiety can have.

    Relationship Struggles

    You’re the one who keeps the peace, manages the schedules, smooths the rough edges. But inside? You’re lonely. Resentful. Exhausted. And then ashamed of feeling that way. You don’t want to feel this way, but you also don’t know what other choice you have.

  • An adult woman sits on a bench with her arms around two children, one on either side of her. The bench is in the middle of a wooded path, and you can see bare trees surround the family. Showing the motherhood struggle of women with ADHD and anxiety.

    Motherhood Overwhelm

    You love your children. But motherhood? The constant demands, dissolving identity, completely depleted energy? Ugh. Sometimes you catch yourself thinking ‘I hate my life.’ And then you buy a new book or planner. Because maybe you just haven’t found the perfect system yet.
