Providing Therapy from the Heart while Encouraging Individuals and Families to Follow their Dreams

For years you have struggled, coping with your experiences of trauma and its impact on your current relationships. Perhaps your parents were Emotionally Immature, and you realize that this has impacted your self-esteem and your ability to have healthy functioning adult relationships. Maybe you were the one who always had to hold everything together, and to be the caretaker for everyone else. Perhaps you felt that you had to sacrifice your own needs to keep everyone else happy. You are beginning to realize now that these patterns are unhealthy, and the cycles are damaging, but you don't know how to change them. Please know that there is hope, you can have healthy relationships, and restore your sense of confidence and self-worth.

Or maybe it is your teenager who is riding an emotional roller-coaster, feeling anxious, and struggling with relationships with their peers. Perhaps they are self-harming, experiencing depressive or suicidal thoughts, and you are going out of your mind to keep them safe. They need help and healthy ways of coping through the crisis. Or maybe your adult child is living on their own, and they are struggling to build their confidence and independence. One minute they need you like their child again, desperately seeking advice, support and comfort. The next, they are pushing you out, needing space, wanting to just live their own lives. You feel torn between wanting to support and nurture them, and wanting them to learn to face the real world.

Perhaps you are struggling to keep your family afloat while also attending to your own needs. Maybe your own needs often get overlooked, or pushed aside in sacrifice for everyone else. Maybe it’s time to create better boundaries, to cultivate self-compassion, and to work on finding who you truly are.
