Who Do You See?
The person who finds herself in my office chair is an adult woman who has finally decided it’s time to make her own wellbeing just as important as the people she cares for. She may be exhausted from carrying the weight of others’ needs while quietly ignoring her own. She is struggling with her emotions, feeling stuck in cycles of self-doubt, and longing to be free—to know what a life worth living truly feels like.
Often, she carries wounds from the past that were never given space to heal—lies she was told by people who should have loved and protected her, shame that grew out of being vulnerable with those who were not emotionally safe, or pain rooted in early attachment wounds that continue to echo in her present. She may be weary from the demands of motherhood or caregiving, or overwhelmed by the pressure to “hold it all together” while feeling like she’s falling apart inside.
She may battle depression, anxiety, or mood swings that make daily life feel harder than it should. She may struggle to see her worth, to trust her voice, or to find her place in a world that often feels too big, too messy, or too demanding. And yet—beneath the exhaustion, the shame, or the fear—there is a deep desire for something more: clarity, peace, healing, and the confidence to move toward the life she’s been dreaming of but unsure how to claim.
