People commonly seek counseling or coaching from me when they’re at a crossroads of sorts. Most of my clients play one or more caregiving roles — mother, wife, daughter of aging parents, worker with a healing profession, woman healing her inner child. They typically take pride in looking after the emotional and physical needs of others, are generally appreciated and valued in their relationships, and derive deep fulfillment as kind and committed people.
At the same time, they commonly feel overwhelmed, alone, worn out, and worried. They also tend to feel guilt for the moments when they don’t do things perfectly . . . resentment for carrying so much of the load solo . . . and confusion as they navigate tons of advice that promises to easily fix whatever ails them. They typically seek support when their relationships — with themselves, intimate partners, or children — feel hard, dissatisfying, stressful, or stuck in some way.
Together We Find the Way to Lasting Change
Working with me, we get curious about your specific situation. We explore emotions, examine beliefs, and identify actions you can take to move toward the relationships you want. You get time, attention, and care for yourself. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental support and validation. Advice is based on factors you can control. You strengthen the inner resources you’ll need and the external skills you’ll use so you can build, deepen, and repair your key relationships.
