At Golden Story Therapy I work with people suffering from anxiety, people-pleasing, negative self-talk, and the never-ending cycle of perfectionism. When my clients find me they are burnt out, stressed, and constantly overthinking. They are high-achievers and high-performers, yet the fear of failure keeps them up at night. Despite their packed schedules they never quite feel seen or understood, which leaves them feeling lonely. In my work I help people break free from these exhausting cycles. So much of what we believe about ourselves comes from the stories others have told us about who we are. This includes the stories society tells us about who we are or who we are ‘supposed to’ be. I work with people who are beginning to question those narratives and are ready for change. I use a warm, collaborative, and judgement-free approach. My commitment is that therapy will be a collaborative, brave space to share your story and have it be received with full acceptance and empathy. I will center your identities, experiences, and goals and use a variety of therapeutic modalities depending on your needs.
