About
As a successful professional, do you feel that no matter how much you accomplish, you’re just not good enough? You’re used to finding solutions but feel at a loss with this constant inner judgment. You may be coping by overworking to avoid these uncomfortable emotions or indulging in ‘retail therapy,' sweets and junk food, a couple of extra drinks, or recreational drugs. You find that these methods for coping work temporarily but then leave you feeling further guilty and alone. There’s a part of you that knows you are capable, but cannot bring yourself to believe that you are ‘enough.’
With support and compassionate reflection, you can begin to restore your confidence and inner peace. We listen to the wisdom of your emotions and allow it to help break the unhealthy patterns in your life. I bring my own experiences as a young professional and strive to provide you with a non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Together, we can create healthy structures in your life that support you through stressful times. I offer virtual sessions in the evening hours. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling understood and hopeful for your future. Email me to set up your free 15-minute consultation and let’s get started on seeing your life reflected in a kinder mirror.
