A Bit About You…

Healing can come from having our pain witnessed.

So much of our hurt happened without anyone there to notice, and so we are left questioning ourselves, our reality.

Our childhoods and young adulthoods are filled with experiences which caused us to form core beliefs about ourselves and our world. 

We have learned lessons about our worth based on our interactions with others. Some of these beliefs are strong and solid.  But sometimes we learn the wrong lessons, and they solidify into core beliefs that quietly guide our choices in life.

If we experienced trauma or rejection, we may have “learned” that we are too much, or not enough. The tragedy is that was the wrong lesson! And yet, if this happens enough, it forms a core belief that will guide our choices and actions throughout life—without us even knowing it. And this results in trying to contort ourselves into what we think other people need from us in order to be okay. 

A Bit About Me…

Much of my work with clients over the past 30+ years is about helping them to first recognize those beliefs, and untangle their knots. Then they can decide which beliefs serve, and which do not. At the core of this is learning how to both accept and love themselves. We do this together with compassion, patience, humor, and grace.
