Exhausted and anxious, you feel an expectation to have it all together. As a responsible and considerate person, you value putting intentional effort into your relationships; yet, you re-hash conversations and second guess yourself, afraid to make a mistake. "What if I push someone away?" you worry, scared to disappoint anyone. Relationships and communication feel confusing for you at times. Despite all your best efforts, you feel under-appreciated in your relationships and often notice that you are doing most of the labor to keep things going.
You want to know yourself, own your identity, and be accepted as you truly are. It’s hard to express that you need help or to receive support from those around you. You'd like to feel confident, capable of handling the stress peacefully, and trust that you're efforts are healthy. Being a healthy person and partner may feel unclear, unsafe, or even "wrong".
I can help you calm your fears, find a starting point, and hold those conversations. You can find clarity and move into authentic self-expression immediately or as soon as any safety issues are addressed. Call/text/email to schedule or check out my online courses, workshops, and memberships to learn more. Contacts are usually answered within 3 business days.
