Let's talk about...​

​

Your struggles with dating - not feeling confident, finding partners who create that spark, others not understanding or respecting parts of your cultural identity, lack of fulfillment in the relationships that do last, or your pattern of losing yourself once you commit to a partner. When you think about it, there's some negative patterns in your relationships and you're ready to change your romantic stride so you can finally feel secure and satisfied. You want comfort, engagement, and passion, but could use a little help figuring out how to get it.

 

The exhaustion, resentment, and  monotony you feel after going through the motions of life's demands day after day. You've lost yourself as you've worked so hard to care for the people in your life or excel at your job. This can't be what "adulting" really is? You want to create some space for you, but you're not sure how that's possible, or afraid those in your life would push back. You could use some support in determining YOUR needs, communicating effectively, and prioritizing yourself.

​

Your lack of self care - you wouldn't even know what to do if you did have some extra time on your hands! But, you know you need it - your days consist of family, work, rinse-and-repeat. At the end of the day your body is either keyed up or heavy with fatigue. Your mind is still racing with tomorrow's to-do's and all you want to do is zone out with TV or your phone. When you hear "self care," bubble baths and yoga come to mind, but adding that into your life feels like work at this point. But maybe that's not your cup of tea, or you're struggling to even find the time to do something relaxing, fun, or restorative.

​

The challenges with this new phase of your life - you're living in a new, unfamiliar city, started a new job, or you're past the "honeymoon phase" of your relationship. You're looking for a new tribe but feel like an awkward outsider, suffering from imposter syndrome, or feeling anxious about the realities of sharing time, space, goals, expectations, family, or flaws with your better half. Serious doubts that you can handle the situation are making you pause, keeping you isolated, and preventing you from feeling worthy of your successes and opportunities. 

​

You can have a private, nonjudgmental space to express your needs, your fears, and your questions. We'll look at the influence of family dynamics, past experiences (pains and triumphs), your unique strengths, values, and approach to life (your roots), and explore what you would like to be different, including what it's going to take to get there (your growth). Some things we may address are self-esteem, boundaries, balance, and assertive communication. Let's do this together.
