Do you consider yourself to be a people pleaser? You may feel anxiety at the idea of others being upset with you. You might feel as if you have no time for yourself or your needs. You are finally ready to make a shift & make space for yourself in your life. You can gain the freedom to no longer need to walk on eggshells and control others feelings. People pleasing is a learned behaviors that many have been conditioned to believe is the way to get love & acceptance. Together we can help you relearn your inherent worth and include yourself in the kindness & care you give to others. My approach to therapy is rooted in curiosity and self-compassion. We’ll explore together how your experience of the world be affected by internal factors, like negative thinking, as well as external factors, including oppressive systems. I specialize in working with adults with a particular focus on identifying women & genderqueer individuals. I utilize the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, hypnotherapy, & other client- centered approaches. In addition to hour long weekly or biweekly sessions, longer intensives are also available. Take the first step and reach out via email to schedule a complimentary consultation. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you.
