Therapy for women who want healthy relationships through authentic connection

 

Caught yourself doing things you hate because you just couldn’t say “no”?

Do you put the needs of others far above your own?

Hold your tongue to “keep the peace”?

You’ve been like this forever. The reliable one. The dependable one. You like helping people, and you’re good at it. But you overextend yourself when you consider others so much. And you’re starting to notice that you’re not taking care of your own needs. This “helpful” and sensitive nature of yours is starting to feel more stifling and less beneficial.

Is this you?

  • Saying yes to everything to avoid feelings of shame and guilt

  • Overextending yourself so you won’t let others down

  • Overthinking everything you say so it always comes out “the right way”

  • Keeping your feelings and opinions to yourself to avoid conflict

  • Taking responsibility for things that don’t belong to you

  • Having difficulty making decisions, communicating, or holding boundaries because you want to please others regardless

  • Feeling unsure of your own needs and questioning whether you have any at all

Individual relationship therapy can help

I get it. You’ve been like this for so long, it’s hard to believe that your relationships could change simply by changing the way you think and how you approach them. I’m here to tell you that it’s true. It’s possible to feel connected and fulfilled in your relationships.

And I can help with that!

I’ll be right there with you as you go through this process, making sure to always consider your personal needs. My approach to individual relationship therapy comes from a desire for you to feel comfortable bringing your authentic self into all relationships.

Individual relationship therapy helps you:

  • Identify core beliefs that hold you back from bringing your true self into relationships

  • Work towards healing from past hurts that might have shaped you and led you to where you are today

  • Discover your own personal and interpersonal needs and learn to lean into them

  • Learn how to establish boundaries and communicate effectively so you can connect with others more authentically
