I had a client that already tried conventional therapy and hit a wall, so they came to me seeking an alternative and holistic method of healing. This person had an issue understanding and honoring their own boundaries. She was raised in a house where boundaries were seen as a sign as disrespect and distance, so she never learned what healthy boundaries looked like. Read more>>

Setting boundaries. Often in my sessions, there comes a point where I assist my client in taking their power back. This “power” is often energy that has been taken due to people pleasing tendencies. I see too many good people with pure intentions being taken advantage of in their day to day life due to lack of boundaries. Read more>>

This is the advice I give to anyone who is looking for a new therapist, because finding the “right” psychotherapist for you can feel impossible. Nobody likes doing it. It’s awkward, uncomfortable, and time consuming. Therapy is an investment in your mental health and well-being. It is also a messy, difficult slog at times. Chances are your therapist will see you at your worst and your best, so picking that person can feel overwhelming and daunting. Read more>>
