Hey, I’m Nadya, The Spoonie Therapist
I help ambitious over-achievers pick themselves back up after life got complicated and disrespectfully knocked them off of their feet. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being driven, adaptable, and as humorous as a puppy doing zoomies, life is hard.
When they first come in, they feel frustrated that they can’t keep up with their own standards when life used to play by their rules. They’ve gone from being everyone’s go-to person to feeling like a burden and they wonder if they’ll be able to do it on their own. The idea of even asking for help is too embarrassing to consider.
Somewhere along the line, life chose vengeance like a cruel cosmic joke and ever since then, they’ve been struggling to find a new normal. They feel frustrated that people they care about have had to pick up their slack. And they feel angry that their health problems and/or trauma get in the way of being as successful in life as they know they could be.
Before they came to see me, they were feeling paralyzed by their lost energy and confidence. Almost daily, they were feeling resentful that life became turbulent and they don’t feel like they can stay afloat. They were isolating themselves so the people they cared about didn’t have to suffer through them being snappy and short-tempered all the time.
Like my clients, you deserve to enjoy life and feel successful again. Healthy relationships and self-love are not out of your reach. If you want to reclaim your power so you can laugh in the face of life’s challenges, I’d love to help you get there.
