WHAT YOU ARE PROBABLY WONDERING RIGHT NOW…
-
Defenses are ways we have learned to protect ourselves, and maybe we needed those defenses whether it was people pleasing, staying quiet, being aggressive, or escaping the situation. Problem is, those defenses likely no longer serve us and have become maladaptive behavior patterns that get in the way of being our CORE SELF.
-
A combination of Nature and Nurture. Some of us are born a bit more anxious, aware of others, wanting to do well. When we journey through chronically problematic spaces in our life, we take some of our natural traits to the extreme and/or develop other responses to help us survive those difficult situations.
-
It’s likely noticeable if we’ve ever been asked “are you ok?” But not all of us have a person around them brave enough to ask a hard working independent woman if they are “ok”. They will avoid the topic, or you. This can impact our connections with others, and will definitely keep us in survival mode aka road to burnout.
-
You will want to first get curious as to what may have activated defenses and how old is this behavior pattern. Next you will want to rework those unhelpful narratives you have been operating under. You will then want to get your body to catch up with these new thoughts by calming down the survival mode responses. Finally start getting in alignment with your newfound safety and security within yourself and start taking action on value aligned paths to get you to operate CONFIDENTLY and AUTHENTICALLY!
I’m here to help you GET- IT -TOGETHER
Hi, I’m Clarissa
I’m a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, behavior change, life transitions, and integrative mental health, with certifications in breathwork and meditation. I help high-performing women who’ve reached a point where self-help no longer works.
I teach practical, holistic tools to improve functioning and quality of life. After years guiding clients through emotions, work stress, and family strain, I realized many people don’t need more therapy—they need mentorship. That led me to expand support beyond the therapy room.
I’ve experienced imposter syndrome, feeling lost, irritability, and burnout myself. Shifting my perspective, clarifying my values, practicing self-compassion, and exploring spirituality helped me live more aligned and fulfilled. I’m professionally more confident, personally more content, more present, and better connected with people I care about. I want the same for you.
