I was “fine” on the outside for years. In fact, people in my life thought I had it all together! I am honestly shocked at how good I was at hiding the racing mind, sleepless nights, cruel self-talk, and, eventually, shame-inducing bottles of booze. If a habit or behavior is simultaneously saving you and making you hold your breath… you don’t have to wait for it to get worse to deserve some support, and exhale.

Whatever your coping tool might be, there is wisdom behind it, coming from part of you that’s simply trying to solve a problem with the wrong solution. So let’s look at it together- no shame, no judgement, no lectures. We won’t take away your raft before we’ve found dry land!

Layer by layer, we’ll quiet the busy mind, get to know what the coping tool is trying to “solve,” and introduce more helpful solutions. And in doing so, you can make your life a place you like to be.

And the bonus is that it can feel good - relaxing even- to do this work! The mean, shame-y, shouty things you’re saying to yourself may be coming from wisdom, but they’re not helping. They can go.

So take a deep breath, and reach out.
