Message to clients

Your mind is racing, you feel overwhelmed and like you can barely hold it together. You feel the pressure of the expectations of others and live in constant dread of letting them down, or worse being discovered for being a fraud. Even in the quiet of the night your mind races with all the things you need to do, and is constantly worried about what you have forgotten, or who you may have let down. You feel powerless to change any of it.

This isn’t you, you are used to being fun, passionate, and excited. You love learning, and engaging in your hobbies and fandoms. The worry, the pressure, the desire to be perfect, have all robbed you of your ability to truly engage with your life. You don’t want it to continue this way yet are afraid of what will happen if you let off some of the pressure.

I am here to help you, to be the light in the storm, to help equip you with the psychological tools you need to live your best life. I am in the empowerment business. With our work together I am going to help you learn about how your brain works so that you can work with your brain, rather than against it. You will learn methods of coping with anxiety and ways to activate and engage in your life.

I look forward to hearing from you and finding how I can best help you.
