Do you struggle with the question, “Tell me about yourself”? Do you find that negative self-talk, self-criticism, or shame can show up under stress? Growing up in stressful or unsupportive environments can sometimes impact how we view ourselves, others and the world. No matter what your age, reclaiming yourself is possible. My name is Tayler, and I specialize in supporting adults in exploring and embracing their identities. I have noticed that negative self-talk, difficulties with self-image, identity crisis, and other concerns with self-esteem can be rooted in past pain or struggles from the past.
