Why Most people meet with me

Anxiety is such a powerful experience and state of emotion.  It demands attention from both your brain and your body.  You may be feeling that you can never reduce or eliminate the state of anxiety and/or the causes. Or you may be feeling that it is getting worse; and being triggered more often. Or you may simply feel worn down by this constant state of anxiety due to specific triggers or new and random triggers. I can help you.

  You may have had an event that was the most terrifying experience of your life or maybe there are several of equal impact.  And now you do not understand why you cannot just let the experience(s) go.  Or you may feel that you never will feel safe anymore.  But you can work through this and get your brain back to focusing on life in the present and future rather than past events. I can help you.

  You always imagined that being pregnant and bringing your baby home would be just like what the movies portray.  But your experiences were corrupted by pain, trauma, frightening events, feeling overwhelmed, or anxious all of the time.  This affected your enjoyment of life, your ability to connect with your family and your baby.  But this is more normal than you think.  I have worked with mothers and pregnant women for years to work this through.  We can focus on scary thoughts, insomnia, anxiety, feelings of disconnect and more. I can help you. 

You feel stuck in cycles and patterns that are related to hormones, the brain, and/or experiences specific to being a woman.  You are feeling frustrated and protective of yourself.  You see yourself differently than how you act and you worry you cannot rely on yourself to follow through the changes that you want to make.  We can talk about the interplay of all of you, every single part.

Despite all that you have accomplished, you have the nagging feeling that the shoe is about to drop.  Reassurance, accolades, degrees, promotions, and jobs cannot seem to confirm what you hope to be true.  You may even be worried that you don't have a right to say that you have imposter syndrome!  Once we look at the function of this we can take a look at how to interrupt the mantra that leaves the pit in your stomach.
