Do you feel different than others? Do you feel a drive to be a perfectionist, avoid mistakes, internalize criticism and then continue being hard on yourself? Are you a people pleaser and want to do the "right thing" yet struggle to make decisions? Are you overstimulated by sensory input and/or feel exhausted more easily than others? You are not alone. When these traits are misunderstood, they can lead a person to feel anxiety, rumination, overthinking, sleep problems, low motivation, fatigue, negative thinking, depression and often believing "something is wrong with them."
I am here to help you re-claim your superpowers and realize that there is nothing wrong with you! Collaborate with me to address past trauma, build a foundation of positive coping skills, gain insight, and adopt new beliefs to support self-acceptance. I provide a warm and supportive "safe space" where you feel comfortable being you!
I admire your resilience, courage, and desire to continue growing into your best self. I offer a complimentary discovery call to determine if working together is a good fit. Please contact me today to talk more about how I can support you in your unique journey and goals from a place of strength and wholeness.
