As a psychologist, I aim to aid my clients in achieving their goals. I can help clients identify factors that may be challenging their successes in life and causing distress. Often clients cannot really identify the origins of the problem. This is where I work with the client to understand their past, build a healthy personal narrative of themselves and encourage positive thinking and behaviors to support a healthy mindset in the future.

You've got big dreams, yet self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy are stopping you from achieving the success and confidence you crave. It’s as though there’s an invisible weight dragging behind you, making it hard to move forward. You see other people leading purpose-driven lives, rich in financial, social, and relational fulfillment. And you so desperately want that, too. But every time you’re going to make a change or take a chance, that voice in your head pops up. “Don’t try it, what if you get rejected” it assures you. “You’re not good enough.” So, you stay hidden in place, growing more helpless and hopeless each day.

I truly believe “Shame dies when stories are told in safe places.” Whatever it is that you are dealing with at the current moment, be it anxiety, stress, burnout, imposter syndrome, or substance abuse, I know it comes with a story. It's ok not to be ok at times. Additionally, do you think you are a perfectionist? Do you have a hard time saying no? Have you been told you are too sensitive or that you care too much? Are you compulsively taking responsibility for the needs of others? If the answer to any of the above is YES, I want you to know that high functioning Anxiety is a thing and one way or another it will lead to burnout.
