Anxiety
Are you “stressed out” all the time? Struggle to stay present becuase you are always thinking about what comes next? Noticing you are irritable, “amped up,” or nervous?
Anxiety can feel hard-wired into us, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I’ll help you discover the roots of your anxiety and develop healthy ways to soothe your nervous system and think differently.
Chronic Pain
Research shows that four common traits in people with chronic pain are: perfectionism, conscientiousness, people pleasing, and anxiousness.
Those traits can show up in our bodies as migraines, jaw & neck pain, back pain, and other symptoms. I’ll help you transform your relationship with your symptoms and find freedom.
Highly Sensitive People
Do you feel things deeply? Avoid intense TV shows or movies because they are just too much for you? Notice you are over-stimulated in noisy or busy environments?
You may be a Highly Sensitive Person.
I can help you embrace these differences and navigate your life in ways that feel sustainable.
Shame
Are you hard on yourself? Nagged by a feeling of failure or thinking you can never be enough? A noisy inner critic can lead to gobs of shame. I can help you learn to treat yourself with self-compassion and free yourself from the burden of shame.
Relationship Issues
Do you struggle to speak up for yourself? Second-guess whether you have the right to request a certain behavior from others? Not sure how to say “no” nicely? Maybe someone told you you need better boundaries…whatever those are…
I’ll help you determine how you want to show up in your relationships and how to take small, manageable steps in that direction. Together, we will develop scripts for handling tricky situations with others and help you find your voice.
