We all seek connection, a sense of belonging, and also we seek to have a sense of purpose and value. When we find ourselves in relationships where we feel a lack of connection or a sense of being undervalued by our partner we tend to lose vitality and/or security. Let us work together to rediscover who we are meant to be.

In my experience, most people have a much higher threshold for difficult truths than they give themselves credit for. I'd gently state that I'm more interested in what you're capable of as opposed to what feels comfortable to discuss. I am analytical, direct, but also sensitive, and the work I do draws from multiple styles of therapy.
