Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here. Are you struggling to feel ok?

On the surface you are holding it all together, but underneath you feel isolated, sadness, fear, or self-doubt. There is a quiet exhausting reality, and you are carrying a heavy weight, and a persistent worry. You find yourself wondering what it feels like to finally “feel ok.”

I support individuals who: 

·    Do it all, and worry about how long you can keep it up

·    Are expert caretakers for others, but not themselves and are burning out

·    People please and feel the intense, unrelenting pressure to be perfect even though they know logically that perfection is an impossible standard

·    Are exhausted by relationship conflict, and try to predict, avoid and diffuse it

·    Whose inner voice is silenced. They hear it, but struggle to use it

·    Experience core challenges with self-worth and self-value

·    Regret how they behave and replay conversations in their heads

·    Feel stuck, overwhelmed, or paralyzed by waves of worry and fear

·    Mask their true self, struggle with confidence, and frequently experience social anxiety

·    Feel isolated due to motherhood, self-doubt, difficult relationships, or for other reasons

·   Wonder if life can be different and want to intentionally imagine it

What You Can Expect:

·    A personalized, unhurried pace: We will take the time you need to explore how you want to feel and create a path to get there

·    A beautiful mix of talking and creativity (even online!): Our time together is flexible and dynamic. We might talk all session long or experience the relief of a ‘flow state’ of a crafting activity –a signal that an internal shift is emerging

·    Together, we will learn ways to feel at peace, make decisions without overthinking, and let your mind unwind
