Individual Counseling

Nothing is wrong with you.

Ever since childhood, you’ve known you weren’t quite like everyone else but couldn’t understand why.

You frequently feel like you don’t belong – or that something is wrong with you.

From an early age, you learned that pretending to be someone else was easier.

Don’t go through life buying into the lie that who you are is wrong. It’s not true.

People pleasing and perfectionism are your MO.

You try so hard to please people and never let anyone down, but it’s taking a constant toll on you.

The weight of the world is on your shoulders. You feel guilty and selfish whenever you try to establish boundaries and space for yourself.

No one sees the real you, only the calm façade you put forward. But behind it, you feel anxious and alone.

Together, we can change your MO.

Your energy is going out in a thousand different directions.

As a caretaker to all, you wear all the hats. You’ve been holding it all together for so long, pushing through stress, exhaustion, and never-ending demands.

You burn the candles at both ends. Unfortunately, with this strategy, you barely keep your head above water. You hide from the truth that you can only run on fumes for so long.

Everywhere you look, there are so many expectations – to be a good mom, a good wife, a good daughter, and a good friend.

Take a breath. I will work with you to insert rest and margin in your life.

It is going to be ok.

Doom and gloom hang over you like a dark cloud and you are always waiting for the other shoe to fall.

You never got the message as a child that ‘everything is going to be ok,’ and it never has been.

So much of our lives and reactions in adulthood result from whether we got the message as a child that everything would be okay. Do you believe everything is going to be OK? Or just the opposite?

Sometimes, the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.

Please don’t do it alone!

Together, we will navigate your thoughts and feelings and explore the parts of you that keep you stuck or feed you lies.

Sometimes, we can’t do it alone. The unknown can be scary as you forge a new path in life, but I will be with you.

Let me help you shed the self you think others want you to be.

Peace and freedom can be yours when you are true to yourself. I will help you find the beauty that is inside you.
