Is this your Story?

 

Burned Out at Work

  • You’re short fused.  You chalk it up to your demanding nature that has led to lots of career success — but it does not always feel so good to blow up.

  • You have learned it’s better to just do things yourself, but you are tired.

  • You want something to change but you don’t know what you need to do.

 

You’re in Overdrive

  • You find yourself crying sometimes when no one is around.

  • You feel burned out between the adrenaline and overwhelm of doing everything on your own.

  • You want to be able to enjoy all the things that you have worked so hard for but just don’t know what to do or how to make that happen.

 

Relationship Disconnection

  • You do so many things well together but have lost each other in the process.

  • You miss each other but your date nights — few and far between — remind you how much you feel like roommates.

  • You long to feel the “we” in your relationship again.

  • You really love your person but know that you need some support to feel  in love with them again.

It’s hard to know where to go from here.

When you look at your house, your life - everything is beautiful but something feels missing. You have worked so hard in so many places of your life and you have had to do it alone. 

Let me help you look internally to find whats missing. I provide an open and caring space for you to really take the time to slow down and reflect internally.  

Don’t ignore you feelings! You need real tools right now.

During our work together we will work on the real things that you are struggling with and put evidence based strategies in place. And coming out of therapy you will notice:

-> Confidence in who you are and the choices you make

->Self trust and self compassion will be more easily accessible to you.

Some clients even report a greater sense of freedom and inner peace in doing this work together. 

Work with Michelle

I can help and I know how to help

With over a decade of clinical experience I use my expertise to help you enjoy your life. I work with professionals  who have it all together but  are struggling to enjoy what they have. 

As someone in recovery from high functioning anxiety I know what it's like to feel fearful of losing my drive and motivation.  But I can help you keep the high functioning parts without the anxiety.

You get to enjoy the life you have worked so hard to create!

Our Work Together Means:

>> Helping you to not always have such a short fuse.

>> Holding space for you to not be so perfect all the time.

>> Identifying strategies to help with better communication with loved ones.

>> Developing a clearer vision of your values.
