INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
I help women in relationships find ways to establish safety and joy within themselves and their partnerships, without telling them that they should compromise on their needs in order to have a happy relationship.
My clients struggle as you do. Despite being patient, understanding and ‘mature’, sometimes, it feels like expressing your needs, and speaking your truth in this relationship is hard.
When they first come in, they tell me how some days they struggle to get out of bed and wear clothes and go to work right after an explosive fight in the night with their partner. They say that some days they wonder if they’re the right fit for each other, and if they’ll ever see a day when they can express their needs confidently without the fear of being rejected. They also feel like it is their curse that they constantly feel attracted to certain kinds of people who don’t understand their needs.
Their attraction to unavailable partners gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. As a consequence, they don’t like how they feel about themselves. They feel like they are failing at expressing themselves and asking for what they want. And their confidence in being an equal partner with a say, is tanking.
Before they came to see me, they were worried that therapy would make them leave the relationship. They were also worried that I would judge them for neglecting their needs. And they were pretty certain that therapy would make them compromise if they wanted to stay in the relationship. The fear and shame was eating them alive.
Like my clients, you deserve to have a full, enriching, open and honest relationship with your partner.
A relationship in which you can grow and feel safe with each other is not out of your reach.
I’d love to help you get there.
