Some things I can help you with
Creating New Relationships
Forming new friendships or dating relationships can be a big step. It’s normal to feel vulnerable or afraid of rejection when opening up to someone new. We’ll work together to spot the red flags and recognize the signs of a healthy connection. Being yourself is critical, and I’m here to support you in showing up authentically so your relationships are genuine and fulfilling.
Ending Relationships
Ending a relationship is never easy, whether with a friend, partner, or even a family member. It can bring up complex emotions like guilt, sadness, and uncertainty. I’m here to support you through this difficult process, helping you navigate the decision, set boundaries, and find closure that honors your well-being and respects your needs.
Effective Communication
Good communication is the heart of any strong relationship. It’s about more than just talking—genuinely listening and understanding each other. We’ll work together to help you express yourself clearly and listen with empathy so you can connect more deeply and easily resolve misunderstandings.
Fear of Conflict
Maybe you worry that expressing your true feelings will upset someone or cause anger, so you hold back, even when uncomfortable. It’s natural to want to avoid conflict, especially if past experiences have made it feel overwhelming or dangerous. But constantly suppressing your needs and feelings to keep the peace can take a toll. You deserve relationships where you can express yourself honestly without fear of backlash. We’ll explore where these fears come from and how they affect your life today. Let’s work together to create a life where you feel more comfortable being you, even in the face of conflict.
