Are you having difficulty saying ‘no’? Do you care for everyone in your life… except yourself?
You don’t fit the Southern belle stereotype expectation. You take care of everyone else, but feel lonely & unfulfilled. You’re “nice” to everyone but feel empty, with growing resentment. You live in a perpetual state of guilt. Your emotions spike up or numb down, with little warning.
Is grief swallowing you whole?
Memories play back like a video tape someone left on. Sleep is the only relief. You wake up in a blissful state of forgetfulness - until the memories come flooding in. Your body feels like a weight has descended on it.
I specialize in beyond-talk therapy for overwhelmed givers living with grief, trauma, or abuse.
You’re tired of the weight of other people’s expectations.
With me, you’ll learn to: say “no” without guilt, uncover your body-mind connection, & self-regulate
I’ve done my own work in therapy and because I know how hard it can be, I have a compassionate approach
What would it look like if life started working for you instead of against you?
I help hardworking people with a strong sense of guilt reclaim their time, energy, & identity.
With me, you’ll learn to say no – without the guilt. Discover that you can care for yourself – and still be loving. Uncover the source of unexpected emotions, and what to do with them.
