About

You try to do everything right; no matter how hard you try, it's never enough. You constantly feel terrible inside. You think the worst about yourself and never believe others when they say, I love you or you're really great. You constantly worry that they wouldn't want to stick around if they truly knew you and what's inside. Others make it seem so easy like they have it all together while you're a dumpster fire. They never seem to struggle to get out of bed, go to work, or be happy. They always seem to find excitement in life, while you can barely shower, brush your teeth, or put on regular clothes. You always feel like a burden to those around you and think they can't understand your pain. You want to protect them, so you keep your pain hidden. Throughout life, you have felt like a wrong person or a problem in others' lives. When things go wrong, you are quick to beat yourself up or be the first to take the blame, even when it's not yours. You often shrug off compliments or believe others are just being nice' when they say kind things to you. Every day feels like it takes so much energy, and all you want to do is hide until the day is over and you can sleep. You hate looking in the mirror because all you see is a worthless piece of shit. You struggle to identify any redeemable qualities about yourself; however, you can identify a million qualities that make you unlovable and not good enough. I see the good in those who struggle to see the good in themselves. I help those who are depressed, overrun with shame, and think they would do the world a favor by no longer existing. My clients learn skills to defeat negative self-talk, process life events to overcome shame, and ultimately lift their depressive fog while accepting that some days may be a dumpster fire, but your worth doesn't need to go up in flames too. My clients find that I am easy to talk to and that all parts of them, even the deep, dark twisties, are welcome in my office.
