You Deserve
to Feel Heard
my specialties:
There are other issues that I have experience helping people navigate. The best way is to reach out for a consultation.
Do you feel like you are often worrying about a variety of things in your life and it’s hard for you to get reassurance? I sometimes describe anxiety as being like a soda bottle that is intensely shaken and suddenly released all at once. I typically suggest a mindfulness, solution-based and behavioral approach to this disorder.
I have experience helping women who are struggling with a variety of life changes such as starting college, taking the next step in a romantic relationship and moving to a new area. I’m here to listen to you as a you explore your feelings about this transition and use mindfulness techniques with a focus on solution-based interventions to help you determine what is leading you to struggle with this transition and what tasks will make the transition easier.
Dr Elaine Aron suggests that 15-20% of the population is highly sensitive. Some of the traits of this temperament mean you might get overwhelmed easily by sensations such a loud room, avoid watching or listening to anything that might make you feel really emotionally overwhelmed like the news or need to spend time decompressing after using energy during a busy day.
Our work together will focus on acceptance of your natural temperament, identifying your unique strengths and using mindfulness-based strategies to help you find practical solutions to areas of your life you feel are currently worn down from being a highly sensitive person in a culture that may not recognize as a gift.
Do you feel that you usually give more than you get in your relationships? Do you find yourself spending countless hours fixing problems for others when you were not asked to do so and then feeling disappointed when you feel you’re not properly thanked for your efforts? If you feel like any of the above questions describe your behaviors, you may be struggling with co-dependency.
Our work together will help you to figure out what is leading to this behavior and help you identify how to set intentional realistic boundaries in your life.
I'm glad to see you here
You might be feeling like your body is exhausted and your mentally burnt-out from spending time dating the wrong person. Your self-esteem might feel as if it is based on how helpful you are to other people, how much appreciation they show you, or validation you get from their words or actions. When is the last time you felt good for being you?
Many of my former clients have a history of overachieving at work and school while at the same time feeling like deep down, they are imposters. You might worry that you have an undiagnosed ADHD and it is making it more difficult for you to focus on self-improvement consistently. I often work with clients who feel like they don’t measure up and might not be able to take on challenges outside of their comfort zones. You might notice that you struggle to cope with difficult people in your life because you were encouraged to be “nice” or easygoing when you were growing up.
I have a lot of experience helping women who have a story of being in abusive or controlling relationships regardless of whether the relationship entailed very obvious signs of abuse like physical violence or more hidden signs of abuse like having a history of a past partner who said cruel things to you and made themselves into the victim when confronted about their behavior. You might just feel that your relationships and other aspects of your life don’t reflect your values and deepest relationship needs.
