About
Many of my clients report that they struggle with high levels of anxiety, are perfectionists, self-critical, have low self esteem and are extremely sensitive to the energy and moods of others. They are empathic to the point of having difficulty identifying what feelings belong to them versus what feelings belong to others. They struggle with disordered eating, toxic relationships, finding balance between productivity and self care and having clear boundaries. Many have had little luck with traditional talk therapy and are looking for someone that can help get them out of their heads and into their bodies.
