Psoriasis

Before…

You were always a little on the shy side, but being on the volleyball team throughout high school enabled you to come out of your shell.

You love being on the court and know that you’re the star player. In the summertime, beach volleyball was the time you could be confident, feel happy, and comfortable in your skin. You were the first pick for every team, every time.

But when psoriasis showed up in college…

… you started to feel withdrawn.

You couldn’t very well show up to the game with the thick scales and flaking skin. You’ve tried wearing clothes to hide it all, but now the scales seem to be everywhere.

Do you wear long sleeves and pants to the beach? Do you let people see your skin?

Now…

The itching and burning is driving you nuts!

You’ve tried many treatments but not much is helping. You feel your world shrinking… you feel ugly.

Your self-confidence is plummeting.

No more shorts and dresses – instead you cover your plaques with long sleeves. You avoid outings and stop playing volleyball.

Your best friend wants to double date, and you are horrified at the thought.

“I can’t stand looking at these scales; how is someone else going to see past them?”

Some of your colleagues at work have noticed…

… and even asked if it was contagious.

Over the years, you’ve tried to hide it as best as you could; but it continues to affect your ability to date, to be intimate, to be social.

Your identity is totally wrapped up in your skin.

I want to help you find yourself…

… and feel confident and beautiful again.

When we work together, we explore the components of your identity. What makes you who you are.

We explore your values, your strengths, your beliefs, your character, and your personality. I will help you refocus your identity on all the things that are RIGHT about you. Many of us focus on what is wrong and deficient. I will help you learn to deeply focus on what is unique, wonderful, and exceptional about you.

Everyone has flaws. Even successful, popular, confident people have weaknesses. But those people act and live from a place of strength. They can put their positive attributes forward and use those attributes to drive their behavior.

You are so much more to the people around you than your skin. You have so much more to offer the world.

Let’s begin to find your strengths, so you can use those strengths to thrive.

Regain confidence, find your worthiness, feel at peace again.

I can help you.
