*Accepting New Clients. Are you tired of letting unfulfilling relationships with yourself, family, your partner, kids, friends, or people at work run your life? Are you seeking peace or a shift in perspective? Change is hard, but it is doable! “To thine own self be true.” Create the life you are seeking. I'm here to support you on your journey. I am a relationship and boundaries therapist and coach who works with individuals to build healthy boundaries and relationship skills in all areas of their lives. I will coach you through skills to help you overcome exhausting cycles in relationships with yourself and others, which may contribute to emotional burnout, financial stress, constant worry, and loss of peace. I understand the stress of feeling consumed by life and overbearing relationships. I understand feeling weighed down by people-pleasing, a lack of self-direction, and trying to meet every expectation of yourself and others. I can relate to feeling stuck and stagnant, with life desires and dreams in constant conflict with the reality of what is. I know the feeling of wanting not to be bothered, to be left alone, to leave everything and everyone behind, and to disappear. Life can be overwhelmingly exhausting, but you can't outrun or avoid your problems. They eventually catch up with you one way or another. So, rather than attempting to escape your problems, face them. The only way out is to get through them by intentionally choosing life choices and relationships that align with your core values, life goals, and authentic self. Easier said than done, yes. I know, I've been there. I know what it's like to be “the helper,” “the fixer,” “the achiever,” “the perfectionist,” and “the expert,” and I know the hardest thing for someone in those roles to do is find the courage to ask for help. Yes, you can help yourself, but it's essential to have tools to help you and someone with whom to share your concerns. You don't have to carry everything or do it all by yourself. Yes, it's hard to be vulnerable with someone you don't know, but it's even harder to heal what you don't reveal. Self-healers also need some level of support. Your wounds need acknowledgment. My style is a mix of therapies and coaching. I integrate attachment theory, the Enneagram, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment, boundaries education, relationship coaching, solution-focused techniques, and accountability to guide you toward holistic self-awareness and self-healing, so your intellect and behavior align. The goal is to empower you to gain clarity, be in control and intentional about all your life choices, find inner peace, and be okay with standing in your truth. I understand the challenges of scheduling time for yourself. Keeping your scheduling and financial needs in mind, I offer a variety of therapy and coaching options, including Sunday sessions, short-term sessions, biweekly, monthly, or as-needed maintenance sessions, as well as ongoing coaching. There's an option for you, no matter where you are in your journey. Therapy or coaching doesn't have to be a lifetime commitment; it can be for a season, one session, or 10 sessions. There's no pressure; you have the power in this relationship. Making time for self-growth is not always easy. It is a financial investment, but it's worth it! Reach out for a consult. Shift your life in the direction you want it to go.
