Authentic Professionals Counseling

Professionals and Millennials deserve to know they are perfectly enough in work and life. But with too many pressures, your true needs can get pushed aside and give way to anxiety, doubt, anger, and being ruled by “should.” You might be overwhelmed with work stress yet continue to over-perform. You seek a partner or stronger relationship but old patterns get in the way. You want more time for friends and self-care but your work-life balance is off. You feel like an imposter in work or academia.

Authentic professionals often: are “feelers” and experience emotions more intensely than others (they can be: emotionally intelligent, empathic, highly sensitive people/HSPs). They are good friends & listeners, intelligent & compassionate, dedicated to work & family, care-takers & maybe perfectionists, who worry about doing or being enough in everything.

I’ve worked alongside people in their 20s and 30s at universities and nonprofits on three continents. I can help you live your whole authentic self with less stress:

My clients start therapy with:

  • Stress and overwhelm
  • Difficulty naming own needs & boundaries
  • Unprocessed emotions
  • Perfectionism
  • People pleasing
  • Over care-taking
  • Not feeling “good enough”
  • Childhood hurts from parents or family
    • Developmental trauma
    • Emotional neglect
    • Attachment trauma

  • Seeking deeper emotional & social support
  • Relationship concerns (partner, dating, friends, family, colleagues)
  • Judging self, comparing to others
  • Self-criticizing thoughts
  • Constantly “doing” or overworking
  • Imposter syndrome
  • Pain from having a parent with traits of Alcohol Abuse (ACOA), Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Bipolar I Disorder, and similar

Reconnect with your own wisdom in therapy to stop comparing with others in order to define your own “good enough.” Understanding yourself is the most powerful tool in deciding anything about what you want in life. Therapy helps heal past experiences to let you feel whole.
