You constantly beat yourself up for each move you make, no matter what you do it’s not enough. You feel lost in the uncertainty of it all- the confusion about who you are, the direction you're going in and how to get out from the trap of your mind. Your relationships suffer as the same patterns play out but you’re stuck in a cycle that leaves you feeling alone. You don’t know who you are anymore, or maybe you realize you never did, but you know that you’re tired of feeling like something's wrong with you. The awareness brings some clarity and now it's deciding what to do with it. You feel ready to make a change.

Falling in love is addictive. It is your brain on cocaine. Until, it isn't. At first, you couldn't picture months of arguing. Even an affair, broken trust. Perhaps you never imagined hiding away, secretly texting a colleague - s/he listens to you. Perhaps you just want the miscommunication and storming out of the room to end.

I welcome your rough edges, tender places, inner wisdom, and the search for more fulfillment. Together, we will invite self-compassion and acceptance around what is already happening, while also creating ways to experience more satisfying ways of treating yourself, being with others, and inhabiting your life.
