You wake up and your inner critic is already yapping away - telling you everything wrong with your body, replaying yesterday's conversations, reminding you you're not doing enough, not good enough, not small enoughFrom the outside you look like you are ok, but underneath, you're exhausted from picking yourself apart and still not feeling okay just being you. In our work together, we'll start to understand why that voice is so darn loud (hint: it's not your fault), and dip into what actually matters to do and how to make life feel more meaningful. And guess what - you don't actually need to change yourself to start feeling better.
Together, we'll look at where that inner critic lives in your body and your thoughts - the self-judgment, the overthinking, the urge to shrink yourself. We can use parts work like IFS and process with Brainspotting for deeper insight. Over time, you'll feel calmer, clearer, and more like yourself (even if you don't know who that is yet).
You don't need the right words or a clear starting point - that's what we'll figure out together. If self-judgment, negative body image, or food struggles have become background noise you've learned to live with, schedule a free consultation through my website or the contact button above. You deserve a space that can truly support you.
