Hi, I’m Shirley! I see you, high-functioning, anxious people-pleasers! You’re a master at juggling everyone’s needs as the peacemaker in your family. However, you barely have time to catch your breath. You’ve learned to compartmentalize your emotions and told yourself that you’ll deal with them “later”. Well, now you’re overwhelmed. The LAST thing you’d want is to burden anyone or show that you don’t have your sh!t together. Deep down, you crave a deep sense of calm, acceptance, and belonging. You want to heal intergenerational trauma so you don’t pass these struggles onto your future kids.
I want to give you the space and, more importantly, permission to slow down. So I meet my clients where they’re at in each session: healing from intergenerational wounds, making sense of their next steps, or wanting to build healthier relationships. We go at your speed and timeline. Over time, we learn how to respond to our emotions, instead of reacting.
I am a second-generation Chinese-Vietnamese American who knows firsthand the struggle of not speaking up for myself. By neglecting my needs, I allowed self-criticism to take over and erode my sense of self. You can rebuild a healthy self-image and regain confidence. Reach out today and let's work together!
