Psychotherapist focused on the treatment of Impostor Syndrome in adults. In my private practice I work with individuals suffering from Impostor Syndrome.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC 52608), speaker, and corporate consultant. I assist clients with understanding the scope of their impostorism, its origin, and reducing negative symptoms and behaviors that have developed over time as a result of Impostor Syndrome. My goal as a therapist, is to assist with developing solutions, gaining insight, and modifying behavior to bring about more happiness, satisfaction, and a sense of understanding in one's life. Together we will work to uncover the underlying influences of your thoughts, emotions and behaviors to create meaningful, positive, and lasting change in your life. I have been a featured expert for various major television and media platforms. I was a Resident Therapist on the first season of, the unscripted series, Love Goals, on the Oprah Winfrey Network, have been a guest on The Love Hour podcast (For Men Only and Group Therapy) hosted by KevOnStage, and a guest on the Mike and Donny Show on Fox Soul TV. I have been featured as an expert in several articles on major online platforms including, Bustle Magazine, Thrive Global, and Entrepreneur Magazine. As a corporate consultant, I have facilitated discussions about race in the workplace for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) and Tory Burch. In addition, I have hosted a series of workshops for A New Direction, a London-based non-profit, that provides support and development to individuals that are underrepresented in the creative and digital industries.

I've heard the reasoning behind why you might not want to focus on the good, and I still don't agree.

- You want to never think of yourself too highly

- You want to be prepared if things don't go well

- You want to remain humble (not how I define humility, but okay)

- If you focus on what didn't work, it helps you fix those parts and be better

I am not saying ignore the negative, I am saying be more balanced in the amount of time and energy you give to it. My concern is that while you're focusing on the negative, you are also inadvertently training your brain to treat it as more important than I don't know... the GOOD THINGS that happen to you 🙄😮‍💨😤!

When you only give attention to the negative or downplay the good, you're also disconnecting yourself from feeling good about what you have accomplished, and that will ultimately impact how you see yourself and how you characterize what you do.

Question: When you look to the future, do you see a list of possibilities or a list of worries?

I'll keep saying it until it sinks in. You have to become more aware of your thinking because it impacts your feelings and, ultimately, your behavior.

If you allow your brain to focus on the negative unchecked, you will probably be unhappy and dissatisfied with your life and your accomplishments.

If you struggle to acknowledge the good, get my journal and start completing the exercises. The link is in my profile.

Do not let your inner bully get you to focus on things that aren't beneficial to you reaching your full potential or becoming the best version of yourself.

It will try to convince you that paying attention to your imperfections is the ONLY way to improve and grow, and I'm here to tell you that is a lie!
