| Practice Description: |
 | Now offering support through TELETHERAPY. Together, we can create your NEW NORMAL. We have all been impacted by COVID-19 and the necessary measures to contain its spread. I will meet with you via video and help you discover ways to cope with the anxiety, frustration, sadness, and isolation. |
Is making decisions a struggle? Do you know what you want to say or do, but the expectations and needs of other people get in the way? You are probably an expert at anticipating what others want/need from you. Congratulations!
This makes you a highly attuned person in relationships and is an amazing quality, however, YOU MAY FEEL LIKE PARTS OF YOU ARE BATTLING THINGS OUT. You ask, "Do i give this person what they want or do i honor myself?" ****You do not have to suffer in battle.****
These parts CAN work together to create a life of peace and harmony!
Your Core Self can be solid and pretty impermeable so that you are clear about what you want/need, like/don't like most of the time -OR- your Self can be porous and very 'loose' so it is difficult to make decisions for yourself and set boundaries with people. You may take in so many different opinions, viewpoints, likes, dislikes from others you end up making decisions that do not work for you. You may even end up feeling completely stuck in your life situation.
Together, we can work toward uncovering and building a strong, solid sense of self. I do not tell you what you should do. It is YOUR journey. I DO provide emotional safety, empathy, acceptance, and practical tools while accompanying you on your healing journey.
Always remember: "You are stronger than you think, braver than you know, and more powerful than you ever imagined."
