You deserve the same love and consideration you give to others. You give so much, overfunction, and overextend. You think showing up in this way will show someone how much you care about them and they will see you in return. But instead, your relationships leave you feeling anxious and depleted. You realize you’re at a place where your attachment wounds or trauma are causing difficulties in your life and relationships. I help clients connect deeply with their value and worth in relationships. I sit in the discomfort with you, encourage directness, and will help you build the kinds of connections you believe are possible.
