“You can’t stop the waves,
but you can learn to surf.”
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
This is therapy that helps thoughtful people with high expectations of themselves let go of overthinking and overwhelm, and begin to feel grounded, calm, and confident.
I have talked with so many bright, capable people who feel overwhelmed and exhausted by worry and self-doubt, and I’ve seen them grow in deep and lasting ways. So many of my clients:
Want so badly to do good and to be good
Believe that at any moment people will realize that they’re frauds
Wonder why they work so hard to please people they may not even like
Feel overwhelmed, unfulfilled, and yearn for a sense of purpose & direction.
Are exhausted from overthinking everything.
More than anything, they are looking for a therapist who can help them let go of worry and create space in their lives for what matters most to them.
These are some of the most common issues I see my clients struggling with:
ANXIETY & WORRYING
SELF-DOUBT & SELF-CRITICISM
BLACK & WHITE THINKING
PEOPLE PLEASING & BOUNDARIES
FEAR OF FAILURE & MISTAKES
IMPOSTER SYNDROME
OVERWHELM & STRESS
OVERTHINKING
The drive to do everything right can become so overwhelming that the fear of letting people down or in any way failing is unbearable, but we can find a way to harness the healthy part of that drive and shape it so that it no longer prevents you from ever feeling confident, satisfied, or relaxed.
Here is some of what I can support you in doing to make your life better:
LEARNING EFFECTIVE COPING STRATEGIES TO MANAGE ANXIETY AND OVERTHINKING
PRACTICING SELF-COMPASSION AND LEARNING HOW TO STOP BEING SO SELF-CRITICAL
GETTING RELIEF FROM THE OVERWHELMING SENSE THAT YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH
BUILDING MINDFULNESS SKILLS SO YOU CAN BETTER CULTIVATE RESILIENCE, PATIENCE, AND PRESENCE
If these issues sound familiar and these supports sound helpful, then we may be a good fit.
Let’s set up a time to find out.
