I work with people who are seen as capable and easy to get along with, but identify as people-pleasers. You have hard time knowing what you want and asking for it, and become increasingly burned out as your boundaries blur.
You might recognize that: You focus on making others comfortable, and what will cause the least disruption or conflict. Small decisions are difficult. Boundaries are alien. Saying "no" is unpleasant, so you agree to things and feel irritated, resentful or drained afterwards. It's difficult to identify your feelings, values, or preferences, and people don't seem to know 'the real you'.
We’ll focus on: recognizing feelings, connecting with values, communicating clearly and assertively, setting effective boundaries, becoming more comfortable with discomfort, understanding how these patterns developed, building durable self-esteem, trusting your own judgment, and creating a life aligned with who you are, rather than others' expectations.
You’ll find me warm and down-to-earth. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including ACT and CBT. I invite all questions, no matter where you are in your process. I love to help new-to-therapy clients get started, and if I don't think I'm the best fit I'll recommend others who might be.
