Do you struggle with feelings of self-doubt and insecurity? Do you often wonder if you are doing, being, or providing enough? Is most of your time taken-up by worrying about or taking care of others? And, do you experience a nagging sense of guilt when you think about doing something just for you? If you are a compassionate woman or soulful introvert who is often the “caretaker,” “fixer,” or “helper” in your personal and professional life, I would love to help.
Learning how to prioritize your self-care — without feeling guilty — can be challenging. My goal is to help you learn how to stop putting yourself last and start nurturing yourself first, while creating a personal and professional life you adore.
I am a neurodivergent, fat-positive practitioner and believe in creating a safe emotional space for those in marginalized bodies & communities. I specialize in self-care, anxiety, compassion fatigue & burnout recovery, women’s issues, & “self-of the therapist” development. Please contact me to schedule your free consultation call today.
