Sometimes you feel so exhausted you can’t get anything done, and sometimes you’re so on edge you can’t even rest. You’ve already tried on your own to solve your problems: you’ve read the self-help books, follow the popular therapists on Instagram and TikTok, and know the “right” things to do. You know you’re insightful, but insight alone isn’t shifting things. You speak to yourself unkindly, which doesn’t help. You want to have fewer ups and downs, or maybe you’re wanting to change a relationship that your friends say is toxic. At this point, you’re ready to try something new. When we work together, I’ll approach things with compassion to help you shift your insight into action. I will guide you in shifting your relationship with yourself from one of harsh criticism to one based in flexibility and kindness. I often start with the basics: sleep, rest, grounding, nourishment - always with the intention to feel better, not to meet some external criteria or have an aesthetic influencer routine. I suggest things to experiment with, rather than giving canned or rigid advice. We may also work on having better relationships, being less mean to yourself, and getting off the emotional rollercoaster. When we work together, you’ll be in the driver’s seat, and I’ll be in the passenger seat, helping you navigate your way to feeling better.
