How therapy can help

I help people who struggle to assert themselves in relationships so they can develop safe, balanced, and emotionally fulfilling connections.

You lie in bed at night replaying conversations with friends, family, or coworkers, wondering what you could have said or done differently. Sometimes you question yourself and wonder, “Am I making a big deal out of this?” Other times, you feel frustrated because people should know what they did to upset you; it’s obvious, right? And having a conversation is so dreadful because you don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Maybe you also feel guilty and wonder if you’re being “too much,” so you avoid the conversation altogether.

As someone who has struggled to assert themselves in relationships, having those difficult conversations is the first step to developing emotionally intimate relationships and honoring oneself and needs. As a trauma survivor, I also understand that the idea of conflict can feel terrifying or unnecessary. However, it’s precisely that avoidance and overtime resentment that make it hard to form authentic relationships.  Healthy conflict, effective communication, and managing big feelings are all learnable skills. Once you have them, you can enrich your current connections and build meaningful relationships in the future.

Imagine waking up and prioritizing your needs without guilt. Imagine choosing how to spend your time based on what matters to you, instead of others’ expectations. And imagine having those difficult conversations and feeling empowered and confident afterward.
