For my patients, things often look pretty impressive on the outside, but in their heads it’s a different story. The overachievers, the perfectionists, the people pleasers — no one in their lives might even guess they’re struggling. They look like they’ve got it all together. Despite being intelligent, effective, ambitious women, life isn’t as perfect as it seems. They feel anxious, stressed, unfulfilled, and burnt out; they’re critical of themselves; they’re dealing with the very real ups and downs of this particular season of life. They doubt themselves more than most people who have achieved half of what they have.
In therapy with me, patients work towards being in charge of their thoughts, rather than feeling ruled by them. We want to go from feeling like you’re at a 0 to at least a 5. But the real magic comes into play when we go from 5 to 10. The goal isn’t “symptom free” — it’s building this incredible future self that my patients are on their way to becoming.
Like my patients, you deserve to feel like you — not your anxiety, or your perfectionism, or your people-pleasing — are in the driver’s seat of your own life. A life that makes you feel as powerful on the inside as your friends think you look on the outside. If this sounds like a good fit for you, I’d love to help you get there. Book a free consult today.
