Description (2950 characters max)
You’re smart. You’re capable. You get things done. But inside, you struggle with anxiety, impostor syndrome, and exhaustion from constant striving.
Maybe you identify as codependent - anticipating other people’s needs and showing up for them, even though you end up feeling unappreciated and, maybe, resentful.
You’ve read all the memes and listened to the podcasts encouraging self care and self compassion. But your inner critic is not having any of it. Or worse, self-care has become one more item on your to-do list.
I know what it’s like. Until I hit my forties, I was constantly striving, trying to prove my worth by being successful, pretty, capable, helpful - everything that our culture and my family said would, one day, make me feel good enough.
Then, I met an amazing therapist who began teaching me what real self-nurturing was all about - not more hoops to jump through, but a shift in how I saw myself and the world. Over time, I can to understand something fundamental to genuine self-esteem and self-confidence.
It’s not being good enough that wins us love or belonging. It’s being loved for no reason and belonging fully to ourselves that, ultimately, teaches us we are good enough.
Over the last twenty years, it’s been my honor and pleasure to share this process with my own clients and witness the profound changes in their lives as they develop deep and lasting feelings of genuine warmth and care for themselves.
