Connecting you with what matters to you. Too often our fears/worries limit our ability to deeply relate to others. Do you suspect others won't like what they see if you let them know you? Or do you have trouble liking yourself despite others saying you have a lot of strengths. Can't seem to stop judging yourself despite your accomplishments? Are you afraid to take chances with people, in your career, and in your personal development? I help people to stop judging themselves by how they think they fail to measure up. We'll free you from the baggage you've been carrying around and help you live in alignment with your values.
Start feeling better about yourself, the first step to making deeper connections and overcoming self-criticism. I've worked with hundreds of clients using techniques supported by solid therapy research. I partner with my clients, actively working with my clients in session. We develop therapy plans for work between sessions to see faster progress.
I know it can be scary to reach out. Reach me by website, email, or by phone. www.qualitycounselingofnewengland.com/contact-us. You can even leave a msg without talking to anyone. Whatever format you use to contact me, you'll hear a friendly voice or receive an enthusiastic email back. I return every message and can't wait to meet you. Now expanded to CT!
