Despite having a lot to be proud of, deep down, you feel inadequate. Racked with self-doubt, self-criticism, imposter syndrome, people pleasing, and other efforts to earn approval. You may also fear conflict, struggle with boundaries, and feel lonely and isolated. You shy away from expressing vulnerability to avoid "burdening" others, but you're more than willing to be there for them. In relationships, you may end up feeling unseen or uncared for, or you lose parts of yourself. You yearn to improve your relationship with yourself and connect in more authentic ways. So that you can belong more fully: to yourself, and to others.
Using Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), I guide individuals and couples in feeling their feelings in a safe and healing way. Your inner world can then guide you in taking the best care you can of yourself and your relationships. This often involves cultivating self-acceptance, trust in safe others, and healthy relationship patterns.
If you're ready to take the first step toward a more authentic, connected life, book a no-cost video consultation with me today. Let's work together to help you cultivate self-acceptance and self-compassion, reclaim your voice, and enjoy satisfying connection.

I work with clients and couples struggling with self-worth and unsustainable relationship dynamics. I help you feel your feelings in the "here and now"; change occurs most powerfully when you actually experience something different in the sessions. I facilitate a process in which you can feel better about yourself and engage in healthier relationship dynamics in real time.

EFT asserts that our feelings are our psychological truths, and provide us with important, life-enriching information. EFT can help folks struggling with self-worth and relationship issues to access and express their experience; to transform excess guilt, shame, and fear, and rediscover their voice and capacity to connect.
