Are you stuck in your head; second-guessing every word, afraid you will say or do something weird or not sound interesting enough? Do you feel like an outlier, not accepted by others, but more importantly by yourself? Perhaps this drives you to perfectionism and social anxiety. This makes initiating conversations terrifying. Going through major life changes and having some big decisions to make, spirals into feeling overwhelmed. I get it because I also live on the outside. I have lived that fear of judgment and turned it into real confidence and connection.
I help young adults walk into a room feeling interesting, exuding charisma, and confident in their identity. 60-minute sessions are warm and practical where you leave lighter with one clear action item like an initiation script or trigger reflection that fits your life. We work on self-soothing, shifting negative thoughts, and moving toward acceptance.
My goal: you feel better leaving than when you arrived, with tools to self-soothe and move forward. Accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna. Superbills are available for out-of-network, standard $139.47 First step: free 30 minute consultation, no pressure, just clarity on fit. Call or text (910) 536-3163. Text is the fastest way to reach me.
