helping anxious people in Missouri and Illinois ditch self-doubt and embrace who they are through compassionate and affirming therapy
You’re plagued with racing thoughts, but you’re quick to deny or dismiss your own struggles.
You think to yourself that you shouldn’t feel this way.
(But you do.)
No amount of intellectualizing or self-care seems to shake your anxiety or relieve your self-doubt.
Who you are never seems to measure up to who you feel like you're supposed to be.
Your past is heavier than you’d like and the future’s full of fear.
I help people across Missouri and Illinois make sense of the past so that can embrace who they are.
Recognizing that who they are, as they are, is good enough.
“We’re all just walking each other home”
It’s a promise that we are all in this often wonderful, sometimes messy, and delightfully weird world together.
And it is together that we heal, grow, and build lives of meaning and purpose.
I’m here to help you let go of doubt and embrace who you are.
We spend so much of our lives worrying, problem solving, complaining, or waiting for the next thing that when a bit of sweetness arrives, we often fail to relish in it. All too often we can remember the cringe-worthy thing we did or said in middle school in excruciating detail, but our memory is hazy when it comes to the more pleasant side of life. This isn't because of some personal failing of ours; it is built into our brains to record, remember, and ultimately learn from perceived threats to our physical and emotional safety.
It felt like Mary Oliver had cracked me open and peered inside. She knew my struggles and with a few simple words, was releasing me from the prison I had created for myself. How many of us share this fear, that we are not, somehow, good enough; that we have to repent, apologize, or live in such a way that makes up for our inadequacies. For many that I work with, this is an old fear that haunts much of their days.
