I have a warm. Compassionate. Down to earth style. I USE a relational. Depth oriented treatment approach and focus on helping people improve self awareness. Learn SELF-ACCEPTANCE and create greater intimacy in their relationships. Many of MY clients report feeling "stuck". I help them find resolutions to their problems by better understanding themselves and communicating their needs to others. With just a little help they become "unstuck" and feel a great deal better. I also work with individuals WHO experience an inner critical voice that attacks them with messages such AS: “I AM NOT enough”; “I need to BE a better person”; "I cannot trust others". Some explain feeling overly responsible and share that they have difficulty expressing their authentic feelings to others. We often have a WAY in which we believe we need to BE or NOT BE in order to feel acceptable. We CAN learn to reject elements of OUR personality. Body or spirituality in an effort to gain love from others. Feelings of shame. Guilt. Anxiety. And of “NOT being enough” are often directly connected to OUR inability to accept and care for ourselves wholly and freely. I help MY clients discover that there is plenty of room for every aspect of their personhood. Shame and anxiety dissipate and self acceptance is the natural byproduct. Letting GO of shame and worry leads to greater JOY and fulfillment in interpersonal relationships.
