Anxiety & OCD
Anxiety & OCD are often a result of many factors: predisposition to be more sensitive or anxious, mixed with invalidation or scary experiences or trauma, and possibly a feeling of being unsafe in the world and within yourself. We will work on establishing safety within your body and mind while gently expanding your comfort zone and tolerance so that you can live the life you are meant to live - on your terms, not anxiety’s!
Chronic Illness & Chronic Pain
I help clients navigate through the challenges of a chronic illness and/or chronic pain. There is more and more research coming out about the benefits of mindfulness and nervous system regulation for helping to manage chronic pain, and to allow you to navigate symptom flares with more compassion and more ease. Whether it’s navigating grief and loss, trying to figure out your new identity, or managing fear about symptoms or pain, I will guide you with the skills you need to build a meaningful, fulfilling life even with health challenges.
Some of the issues I have helped clients navigate include (but are not limited to): Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Long Covid, POTS, MCAS, Fibromyalgia, Autoimmune Diseases, MS, and other pain conditions.
Burnout & Compassion Fatigue
Together, we will discover the beliefs and behaviors that fuel a high-stress, no-rest lifestyle, or the factors that contributed to burnout and fatigue. We will uncover the unique story behind your burnout, begin to work on rebalancing your nervous system by addressing (and finding) your true, authentic self and living by those values, releasing stored tension in the body, practicing balance, and more.
Highly Sensitive & Empathic
In our society, we are often taught that being highly sensitive is something we need to “fix” or get rid of. However, many clients I work with who struggle with chronic health ailments and mental health battles find that they are exceptionally sensitive or empathic. Sensitivity can be to noises, textures, stress, or any type of stimuli - and high levels of empathy without appropriate boundaries and self-care can lead to exhaustion, moodiness, relationship difficulties, and trouble with upholding boundaries.
I am passionate about helping highly sensitive & empathic women feel empowered, embrace their gift of sensitivity, and harness their superpower!
