I help adults of all ages who are tired of chasing perfection. Despite being ambitious, hard-working, and devoted to their relationships, my clients do not feel calm inside. When they first come in, they feel compelled to present an outside image that is more attractive, more accomplished, and happier than the next person. Underneath, they carry the secret that they don’t actually feel that great. They struggle with staying present in the moment and often feel exhausted. They avoid reaching out to people, because it doesn't feel safe to show their weaknesses. Their fears get in the way of the life they want in so many ways.
They aren’t the kind of people, partners, professionals, and friends they want to be. They feel like they’re failing at achieving the actual happiness underneath the shiny exterior. And their confidence in being able to find it is tanking. Before therapy, they avoided talking to others about their worries, not wanting to seem insecure or needy.
Anxiety is alienating and painful. Like my clients, you deserve to be able to fully live your life rather than just cultivating the image of one. Showing your genuine self and experiencing acceptance is not out of your reach. If you want to have tools for feeling truly comfortable in your own skin, I’d love to help you get there. Call or message me today.
