Does it look like you have the perfect life from the outside, but you aren't truly enjoying it?

For many life can be one of two things, either you feel like you are never enough so why try or you feel like you have to always keep pushing and keep going never able to relax. If never enough, you have tried everything to pull yourself out and people are quick to tell you how, so you put on a smile to hide it. On the other, you pride yourself on how much you accomplish but feel less than when you slow. Maybe you are struggling in a relationship and ready to learn how to not only have healthier relationship-building boundaries but also interested in learning out how to draw closer through empathetic attunement.

It is rare to feel truly heard by another person and many of us carry painful thoughts and memories alone, unwilling to expose our vulnerability to someone who will not fully acknowledge it.

Experiencing this type of relationship in therapy aids in developing new neural networks in the brain, and also serves as a model for recognizing and seeking out relationships similar to the safety of the counseling partnership.
