Helpers tend to prioritize the needs and feelings of others rather than their own .
Does this sound like you?
On the Outside:
What You Want To Gain:
We spend a lot of energy trying to control our emotions.
In my practice, we work with them.
How I Can Help
I use an evidence-based approach that helps you feel even your most painful feelings in order to heal them.
I can help you find out what you really need, and how to get those needs met. I can also help you to transform feelings that are no longer serving you. This will free you up so that you don’t have to use helping others as a proxy to getting your own needs met - you can be free to be a helper or people-developer because you want to be!
Does this sound like you?
- You have a hard time feeling good about yourself no matter how much good you do - and you do a lot of good!
- You are always seeking to make others happy, but are rarely happy yourself, and struggle with depression or anxiety.
- You have been driven, hard-working, maybe even over-achieving, but you are tired of it and burnt out.
- On the outside, it seems like you life is “together” - but you are not really living for you.
- You are highly sensitive - particularly to the emotions of everyone else around you, but you have a hard time prioritizing and connecting to your own.
- You are your own toughest critic.
On the Outside:
- You are conscientious, insightful, a “do-gooder."
- You are likely in a helping profession or a helping, people-developing role within any industry, paid or unpaid.
- You are a people-pleaser.
What You Want To Gain:
- You want to live life more authentically - to make more space for what you feel and what you need.
- You want to make more room for all of you - your True Self - rather than only the parts of you that seem most likable, most useful, or most of service.
- You want to learn how to be kinder to yourself, from the inside out, and to soften your harsh self-criticism.
