Queer-affirming
Ok, can you relate to this?...
You avoid speaking up in groups, at meetings, or even with the people you are closest to.
You hangout with a friend... and then replay everything you said a hundred times while trying to fall asleep.
You feel exhausted from making sure everyone around you is feeling okay, so that you aren't perceived as lazy, selfish, or bad.
You say "yes" to everything... then resentment creeps in and you hate that you feel that way
You're doing so much for people...and yet feeling like it's not enough.
It's exhausting!
But imagine instead...
​
You show up to plans without performing.
​
You speak up without spiraling afterward.
​
You send the text once… and move on with your day.
​
You say "no" without feeling guilty or feeling like you are a bad person.
It would be a sigh of relief, right?
Therapy can help:
I use IFS + EMDR therapy (not your average talk therapy) to help you work through social anxiety in a way that actually sticks.
​
And I want you to know this: nothing is too much.
​
Anything you’re anxious about gets to come to the table.
No weird facial reactions. No judgment. No “wow that’s a lot.” I've heard it all before!
​
Just human-to-human support while we help you build real steadiness.
