A fundamental human need is to feel emotionally close to others. Difficulty connecting in a platonic or romantic way can leave one feeling sad, anxious, and lonely. Often, we retreat from attempted connection to avoid potential pain. Alternately, because we don't know any different or don't want to feel disconnected, we become involved with others who cause us more interpersonal stress. But isolating or engaging with harmful others can cause us to feel vulnerable, damaged, and upset with ourselves. This pattern often leads us to question if we are capable and deserving of joining and creating mutually beneficial relationships.
I will help you identify and change maladaptive patterns of relating while developing and sustaining healthy connections. Additionally, my expertise lies in treating depression, fears and anxieties and facilitating healing from painful life experiences. Through trauma informed treatment, we can make long-lasting transformations.
I am a Level 1 graduate of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute. In addition to the above, I have special interest in resolving shame and perfectionism, developing self-compassion, and navigating dating.
