Your Empathy Might Just Be Overthinking

Discover how overthinking can mask under-feeling, and learn practical strategies to realign your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Perfect for overthinkers, people-pleasers, and sensitive adults.

Renovations & Revelations has officially begun!!! This series is about the subtle (and not so subtle) ways people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overthinking show up Even in the “most experienced,” self-aware, therapy-going adults. Yes… us too. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m pulling back the curtain on real-life patterns, moments of incongruency, and the small shifts that move us one step closer to a more aligned life. Because growth isn’t demolition. It’s renovation. Intentional. Layered. Sometimes dusty. Always revealing. If you’ve ever thought, “I should know better by now…” This series is for you. 🛠 Join my weekly-ish newsletter (link in bio). 🛠 Read Past Insights in The Archive (link in bio) 🔁 Share with someone who’s quietly renovating their life. #TherapistLife #PersonalGrowthJourney #PeoplePleaserRecovery #PerfectionismRecovery #Overthinking

I had the honor of joining The Mirage Podcast to talk about something so many of us are quietly navigating: reinvention. This episode marks the launch of their new recurring mental health segment featuring licensed therapists — and I’m deeply grateful to be part of that beginning. We explored: • What reinvention really asks of us emotionally • How bravery and grace can coexist • Why seasons of change dysregulate us • And how understanding your nervous system helps you move forward with clarity I shared insights from foundational frameworks like Dan Siegel’s Hand Model of the Brain and Virginia Satir’s self–others–context model to make emotional regulation and self-understanding feel more accessible. If you’re in a season of becoming — shifting careers, identities, relationships, or simply outgrowing an old version of yourself — this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Watch the full episode on YouTube (link in bio) 💾 Save for when change feels overwhelming 📩 Send to someone who’s in their reinvention era #TherapistLife #EmotionalRegulation #PersonalGrowth #WomenInBusiness #MillennialMentalHealth
