My Training and Expertise is Likely a Great Fit for You if You:
- Have difficulty trusting your judgment, second-guessing your own decisions.
- Feel disconnected from your body, whether it's through chronic tension, low energy, or feeling out of touch with your emotions or physical needs.
- Feeling anxious, jittery or triggered by things that used to feel safe and avoid certain places, people, or situations.
- Struggle to trust others, particularly in relationships, because past betrayals have made it hard for you to feel secure.
- Just want someone to talk to!
- Struggle with intrusive worries about your future, feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainty of what's ahead.
- Find it hard to set boundaries with others, leading to burnout or resentment, because you fear letting people down.
- Feel overwhelmed by social pressure, whether it’s the need to meet unrealistic standards on social media, fit in with your peers, or balance multiple roles.
- Believe that others can’t truly understand what you are going through.
- Fear that failure means you're not worthy or capable.
- Feel trapped in a cycle of overthinking, constantly replaying conversations, events, or “what-ifs,” making it hard to focus or feel at peace.
- Endure physical symptoms of anxiety, like a racing heart, tight chest, or difficulty breathing.
- Notice that you have deep feelings of shame, guilt or self-blame.
- Experience mood swings, irritability, or intense emotional reactions that feel disproportionate to the situation.
- feeling like you’re not good enough, even when others reassure you.
