Psychologist

Many of us grow up with conditions of worth (i.e., “I’m only worthy if”), typically related to appearance, performance, identity, and people-pleasing, which can so often lead to chronic feelings of unworthiness. These feelings of unworthiness then often impact mood, anxiety, body image, patterns and relationships, and the things that we do to try to relieve these difficult feelings. We may feel that we “need” shame to be a "good person” or to motivate ourselves, when really, it so often leads to avoidance, withdrawal, feelings of hopelessness or incapability, and being so hard on ourselves that it can be paralyzing. I’ve been seeing clients for over 20 years, and I can definitively say that shame is the #1 issue for most clients when we really peel back the layers. I know that it may feel daunting or even impossible to tackle shame, but in my work with clients, I have seen it positively change and transform over and over again. One of the most rewarding things for me as a therapist is definitely seeing client’s view of themselves and quality of life improve.
