You put your best foot forward but struggle to acknowledge the good in your life. You put on a brave face and constantly show up for others but neglect your own needs. You have been conditioned to say “everything is fine” and hide how you really feel. Sometimes you may even feel like you don’t deserve joy.
I work with people who struggle with negative self-image, deep sadness, anxiety, shame, and more. These can show up in everyday life as being avoidant, excessive sleeping, increased irritability, feeling deep regret, etc. Before coming to see me, the people I work with denied themselves happiness or let pain from past situations control their lives.
Pretending to be happy is draining. Together we will explore past traumas, learn coping skills, and find new ways to heal and be present in life. I use various techniques to help you connect with your mind, body, and spirit. I work apart of a group practice: Transformative Therapy Services and appointments will be booked through their admin system.
