Warm, nurturing counseling for people with Impostor Syndrome
You’re smart.
You’re capable.
You get things done.
And yet, when it comes to feeling good enough, you’re stuck.
- Maybe it shows up as perfectionism - hoping that you can show some invisible judge that you really are worthy.
- Maybe it shows up as social anxiety - worrying about how others perceive you, believing that if you are good enough or attractive enough, you will finally feel that sense of belonging.
- Maybe it leaks out in anger (or what I call anger-xiety) - frustration that you can’t control others, like your kids, who know just how to shine a spotlight on all your imperfections.
- Maybe it’s this low-lying dread, like a background hum, that you’re going to screw things up.
It’s exhausting.
It's painful.
And, it has never worked beyond a temporary fix.
Here’s the thing. That feeling of security you long for... that feeling that you are good enough... it can’t come from outside. No accomplishment, acknowledgement, or accolade can give you a lasting sense of bone-deep peace.
It has to come from inside.
From a daily practice of kindness toward yourself
From a steadfast refusal to berate and criticize yourself
From radical self-compassion and self-care
It’s not being good enough that makes us feel lovable.
It is being loved for no good reason that makes us feel good enough.
Healing Imposter Syndrome
I work as a mentor and guide, teaching you how to give yourself the nurturing and care you need to feel loved and lovable, as is. No more jumping through hoops.
Feeling trust and love from within makes it so much easier to:
- Say no to anyone or anything that doesn’t feel right for you
- Understand that negativity from others is about them, not you
- Feel comfortable in your own skin
- Have your own permission to make mistakes, learn from them, and still feel good about yourself
If this resonates, please call or schedule an appointment. I always do a free half-session to make sure the fit between us is right and to answer any questions.
