Calling all "imperfect perfectionists" in need of some relief! As a recovering perfectionist myself, I know first-hand how much distress we can create in our own lives. We hold ourselves to high (sometimes impossible) standards and often feel we are falling short. Anxiety and depression can follow - along with feelings of shame and guilt that we aren't as "good" or happy as we should be. It doesn't have to be so hard! We can work together to help you find joy and contentment by creating a loving, compassionate relationship with yourself.

*Accepting new clients!* Do you often find yourself waking up wondering what the #$%# you are doing with your life? The fog doesn't clear until you are on your second cup of coffee, and you already wish you could just curl back up in bed. Maybe you are bored out of your mind at work, or so anxious you can't actually get anything done, and then suddenly the perfectionist in your head is telling you that you have too many feelings, and nothing you do is good enough. Maybe you are in a relationship with the person of your dreams, and you want nothing more than to get through the day without a fight. You wonder, why is this so hard??

Many benefits come from participating in therapy. For example, as a therapist, I can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, stress management, body image issues, and navigating life transitions.
Jamie L Paisley (Accepting New Clients)

Life knocks us down at times—whether it be a pandemic, relationship issues, a breakup/divorce, fired from a job, realizing what you thought you wanted isn’t that, or a period of feeling drained, off, apathetic, unfulfilled. These hardships can leave us feeling unlike ourselves, confused, stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated, dissatisfied with our life. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been feeling stuck here for a while now, you were meant to go through that, but you were not meant to stay there. You are meant to live a life of deep connection to yourself and those around you, and to make aligned decisions that create a fulfilled life.

Let me help you gain a deeper awareness of yourself and in the process, discover inner joy.

Soothe anxiety, nurture inner peace, and feel confident in your own skin. You desire a life in which you are thriving, but right now you feel stuck and held captive by anxiety. You can't shake the constant worry or second guessing of things you say or do, and while you care deeply for others, you're hardest on yourself- like you're never enough. Perhaps you are navigating changes in your life or your body that feel overwhelming. It's possible to have a fulfilling relationship with yourself and others without the unhelpful thoughts and conditioning from your environment that don't reflect you. You deserve to feel at peace.
