You want to connect, but too often your efforts end with you feeling more alone. There are so many miscommunications and hurt feelings. You’re trying to be authentic – but it feels like you’re not heard - not really seen. The last thing you want is to set yourself up to be hurt again. Your plans and interests are little comfort when you feel so isolated and disconnected and trusting others seems to come with so much risk. Know that this is not how it has to be. You can have the relationships and experiences you want – not simply settling for what is available. It's common to feel lost and unsure or where to begin.
You deserve to be heard, empowered, and respected. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming but you might be surprised how quickly you can settle into the safe space of our sessions. I am here alongside you in your therapy journey to help you navigate the challenges and create the relationships you want.
Our sessions are a time for you to focus on the therapy goals you decide. We’ll explore all the angles of what you are dealing with. Through our work, you will get to a place of self-acceptance and emotional well-being – giving you the confidence needed to create real lasting connections. It is an honor to assist you on your journey.
