I work with clients to go deep into the origins of who they are and how life and relationships have shaped them. When you look deeper into your story you can make sense of how you have learned to navigate connection, emotions, conflict, boundaries, and relational needs. We can explore the stuck points, protectors, adaptations, and threat mitigation strategies you have needed up until now. We can also make space for any parts or wounds that need healing or going back for. Along the way, I can help you access your inner resources, wisdom, and resilience. My role is to help you explore the other possibilities available to you.
Whether you lean on shutting down, withdrawing, overfunctioning, pursuing, people-pleasing, controlling, perfectionism, isolation, or giving up your power, you have come by these strategies as a means of getting what you needed as best you could. While these protective strategies might have reduced hurt they also limit your self-worth, potential, and joy.
Where you would like support to try out new ways of interacting with family, friends, or a partner, I can be there to support you through this change. It can feel risky to show up differently, be clearer about your needs and boundaries, break old cycles, or be more open and vulnerable. I can help you create the relationships you long for and deserve.
