You're holding everything together, and quietly running on empty.


If you're a high achiever, caregiver, or the "reliable one" who's burnt out, overwhelmed, or stuck in overthinking and people-pleasing, you don't have to keep pushing through alone.

You're in the right place if:

  • You're functioning on the outside, but feel depleted underneath

  • You can't switch off, even when you're exhausted

  • You're carrying the emotional load — at work, home, or in relationships

  • You overthink, people-please, or hold yourself to impossible standards

  • You feel guilty resting, saying no, or putting yourself first

  • You want support that's steady, practical, and fits real life

✦ LIVED EXPERIENCE ✦ PSYCHOLOGIST

Hey, I'm Kirra

I'm a psychologist who works with people who look fine on the outside but feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in survival mode underneath.

Many of my clients are capable, caring, and used to being the strong one — the person who keeps going, keeps performing, and holds it together. Over time, that takes a toll: burnout, anxiety, shutdown, relationship strain, and a persistent sense of I should be coping better than this.

Therapy with me is calm, collaborative, and grounded in your real life. We'll slow things down, make sense of what's driving the overload, and work toward changes that feel sustainable — not just another list of things to do perfectly.

What it's like to work together

Working together, we start by slowing things down — creating space for you to feel grounded rather than rushed into fixing things. From there, we work out what's actually keeping you stuck, without judgment or blame. That means building practical tools for things like boundaries, self-trust, and decision-making, and making sure the changes we work toward fit your real life, not some ideal version of it.

I can help with:

  • Burnout, stress, and nervous system overload

  • Anxiety, overthinking, and feeling constantly on edge

  • People-pleasing, perfectionism, and guilt

  • Caregiver fatigue and over-responsibility

  • Childhood emotional neglect, parentification, and complex trauma patterns

  • Low self-worth, harsh self-talk, and self-doubt

  • Relationship patterns, boundaries, and communication

  • Identity shifts, life transitions, and feeling lost or disconnected from yourself

My approach

I use evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy tailored to you — drawing primarily from CBT and ACT, as well as emotion focused therapy (informed).

More than the specific techniques, I focus on helping you understand why you're feeling the way you do — and what needs to shift so life feels more steady, sustainable, and like yours again.
