Eldest Daughters

Being the eldest daughter often means carrying more than your share — more responsibility, more emotional labor, and more pressure to “have it all together.” You may be the caregiver, the peacekeeper, the high achiever — but underneath it all, you’re exhausted, unseen, and wondering when you get to be taken care of.

I support eldest daughters who are navigating:

  • Chronic people-pleasing and perfectionism

  • Burnout from being the “strong one”

  • Parentification or taking on adult roles too early

  • Guilt for setting boundaries or saying no

  • Difficulty asking for help or feeling vulnerable

  • Identity struggles inside & outside of culture, family, or achievement roles

Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to be the one holding it all together. Together, we’ll explore, through a culturally informed lens, how these patterns began, how they’re showing up now, and how to begin choosing yourself — without guilt or fear while also honoring your roots and heart.

You are more than the role you’ve played for everyone else. Let’s help you reconnect with who you are.
