Are you always trying to do what’s “right?” Do you care so much about the people around you that you sometimes lose touch with yourself? Though you appear successful and happy—and in many ways you are—do some things feel out of alignment? Perhaps these scenarios seem familiar: - You yearn for more depth or connection in your marriage or partnership. - You feel out of sync in your relationship with your children as they grow into tweens and beyond. - You want to love and appreciate yourself, but struggle to let go of perfectionism, self-criticism, or self-doubt. - You fear disappointing others, so tend to resist setting boundaries.
The foundation of my work is building therapeutic relationships in which people feel safe, seen, understood, and valued exactly as they are. This is at the heart of my counseling practice, not only because I believe it is every human’s birthright, but also because I believe that when given unconditional positive regard, our capacity to thrive is unlocked.
You can be and love who you truly are. You can let go of old habits and care for others without neglecting yourself. You can build and sustain loving, healthy, mutually-supportive relationships. If you have felt resonance, curiosity, or calm in reading this bio, I invite you to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute call with me.
