About My Clients
Relationships can bring up a lot of intense emotions - anxiety, insecurity, vulnerability, feeling unattractive or not good enough, worrying if your partner would leave you, or questioning if someone would love you if they really knew you. You may also be caught up in unhealthy relationship patterns, such as conflict avoidance, people pleasing, self-blaming, etc. Some people may also struggle with feeling rejected or abandoned, either in their current relationship and/or in past relationships.
My Background and Approach
If you're struggling with relationship anxiety or unhealthy relationship patterns, often it's rooted in past unmet emotional needs - needs for love, affection, acceptance, safety, belonging, autonomy, secure attachment, the freedom to express your needs and emotions. These unmet needs lead to the development of negative beliefs about yourself - for instance, that you're not good enough or that no one could love you. While these beliefs may be unconscious and you may be unaware of them on a day to day basis, they manifest themselves as anxiety, insecurity, and relational problems in your current life. Together we'll identify these beliefs, understand their origin and how they impact your current life, process and heal from the past experiences that caused them, and build healthier patterns for the future. I know that coming to therapy can bring up your innermost thoughts and emotions. I'm here to listen with compassion and skillfully guide you. Send a message to schedule an appt.
