Acknowledging that you need support right now is the first step. Life and relationships can be complex and it is often helpful have a neutral person to offer a listening ear, guidance, and to facilitate a process of gaining more insight about who you are and what you want to accept and change. My role would be to help you work towards your goals, which may include building self-compassion, identifying and regulating uncomfortable emotions, processing trauma, changing negative thoughts and patterns, overcoming challenges, strengthening relationships, implementing new coping skills.

Do you find yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns over and over? Do you emotionally explode during conflicts, filling up with rage followed by shame? Or perhaps you shut down in response to a fight, vowing never to open up and trust again. Regardless of your unique patterns, relationship issues often trace back to early life experiences, whether you experienced childhood trauma or more subtle misattunements to your needs and feelings. These early attachment issues may continue to manifest as addiction, poor relationship choices and low self-worth.

You worry all the time about being judged by other people. You feel disconnected from your body and, at the same time, feel like it’s all you think about. You question what you say, how your body looks, if you’re doing things “right,” and there are so many times where your mind feels like it’s on a hamster wheel that you can’t stop. You feel on edge all day and sometimes even feel like you may be having a heart attack. You don’t feel like you fit in anywhere. You’ve been made fun of before for so many different parts of who you are. You’ve been called weird or have been misunderstood at work, in your family, and even in some of your dating relationships. You’ve struggled to find someone who feels like a good fit romantically, and you’re worried there’s something wrong with you. You want to feel more connected to yourself again…
