You are often nervous and sometimes feel like a fraud. You would like to be free from doubt and fear. You feel stuck and are unsure how to move forward to reach the goals you have set for yourself. Is there a part of you that’s always bracing to be “found out,” even though you know you’ve earned your place? Do you sometimes feel stuck fighting with your mind, angry at the very parts that are trying to keep you safe? You are in transition, wanting to move closer to your professional goals.

The past hurts have to be addressed so you can be more in touch with yourself and the parts of you feeling fear and doubt. I specialize in working with health professionals, anyone with childhood trauma, and if you feel like a fraud in work situations. Remember, some transitions can also provide healing when you are willing to acknowledge what you feel.

At Pierce Counseling & Consulting Services, we are committed to helping individuals reclaim their confidence, overcome feelings of fraudulence, and build trust within themselves. We provide a respectful and supportive environment that honors your unique life experiences. Our vision is to foster deep, lasting transformation while empowering individuals.

I incorporate Internal Family Systems into treatment to build a relationship and trust with yourself.

Together, we will increase your curiosity and connection with yourself, building capacity to consider alternative actions while permitting you to have compassion with yourself.
