You’re in the right place if:

• You’re functioning on the outside, but you 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 actually fits real life

Hey, I’m Kirra

I’m a psychologist supporting 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 one who keeps going, keeps performing, and keeps it together. Over time, that can lead to burnout, anxiety, shutdown, relationship strain, and a constant sense of “I should be coping better.”

Therapy with me is calm, collaborative, and practical. We’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s driving the overload, and build changes that feel sustainable, not just another set of strategies you have to “do perfectly.”

What it’s like to work together

1. We slow things down so you can feel grounded and supported

2. We map the pattern, what’s keeping you stuck (without blame)

3. We build practical tools for boundaries, regulation, self-trust, and decision-making

4. We make it sustainable, changes that work in your actual life, not an ideal one

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 from approaches like CBT, ACT, DBT, Schema Therapy, and EMDR (where appropriate).

More than anything, I focus on helping you understand why you’re feeling the way you do, and what needs to change so life feels more steady, sustainable, and yours again.
