We can sometimes get stuck in negative ways of thinking after a difficult life event, a strained family dynamic, or the loss of a relationship. Clients often come to me with thoughts like “I will never be good enough” or “I have to be perfect to succeed.” You may turn to dieting/overexercising, self-harm, or using substances to cope with these painful thoughts. You may feel guilt and shame for thinking and feeling this way. We get lost in the shuffle of everyday life and start prioritizing others’ needs above our own, sacrificing our own self-worth. We think maybe, just maybe, if I can make others around me happy, all will be okay.

Life's demands, painful experiences of disappointment, shame, guilt, anger and sadness, feeling overlooked due to the pressure of pleasing others, and the constant push to put ourselves aside can make it difficult to see our value, obscuring the clarity we need to live purposefully. We become driven by obligations, fear, others opinions, expectations, rarely pausing to truly see ourselves or process our emotions from it all. This often leads to a sense of disconnection and a feeling of living without true direction.

As a result of the work that I do, clients often gain insight, develop coping strategies, build resilience, stop unwanted repetitive patterns, and achieve a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment.
