Normally, you’re the one getting things done and taking care of other people…but right now, you’re exhausted. And you’re finally hitting your limit. You feel like you’ve been stretched to your breaking point. You’re worn too thin, constantly feeling overwhelmed. Every day you wonder how much longer you can hold on or handle it all. All of your usual mottos, like “power through it” or “pull yourself up by the bootstraps,” just aren’t cutting it anymore. Actually, these mottos are making you feel worse and ashamed because you feel like you can’t keep up. It’s all leading you to feel misunderstood, anxious, and disconnected from everyone because they can’t see your stress. Often times you feel like everyone thinks you “should be happy” with all of the good things you have going for you. But that, too, makes you feel worse. It’s all starting to take a toll on your body and health. But, you keep trying to do the best that you can and move forward. So, you push away the grief, the anxiety, the trauma, or how chronic illness is affecting you. You keep going. Still though, you feel a good cry bubbling up inside of you every day. You push it down or maybe you save for when you are in the shower when no one can hear. Or maybe you are just to the point where you feel numb. Either way, it’s taking everything you have to get through the day or week and be present with your family, maintain your performance at work, walk through your grief, or be a decent partner or friend. You are just. so. tired. You mumble it under your breath at least once a day. And all of that has led you here, looking for someone who can help you through this difficult season of your life. I can help. I help people who are burdened and burned out - especially perfectionists and people-pleasers - to reclaim the joy, freedom, and connection they were made for. Together, we’ll work to understand your needs, your history, your relationships, and your goals, so we can begin to dismantle the particular obstacles that keep you from flourishing and get you moving back toward the life you’ve been missing. I give you the space you need to slow down and process your thoughts, help you stop ignoring and downplaying your emotions, prompt you to consider new angles, and teach you new tools to help you find your way forward. We love a good book and a good laugh, so we’ll probably incorporate both into our work at some point.
