I’ve been thinking of a concise, cohesive message for my practice to add to the website and elsewhere…
I help sensitive, conflicted achievers near Claremont, CA get unstuck, unlost, unafraid, and unashamed, by compassionately decoding, accepting, and caring for their discarded hearts’ desires. I counsel and foster thoughtful people who feel something is lacking or missing but can’t quite put their finger on it.
Those who resonate with that might have struggled with feeling emotionally missed and unsupported. Pleasing others while their own desires and sense of identity faded. Feeling too different and thus ‘not enough’ and wanting social ease and self-confidence. Seeking relationships that are both nurturing and respectful of individuality.
Exiting hurtful, repetitive patterns and finding the heart keys that were thought to be gone, never there, or unfindable, will be greatly helped by a creative, knowledgeable therapist and counselor with a non-blinding, accurate flashlight—and the patience and confidence for dark rooms of obstacles.
My goal is to help others feel sure that: they have a right to be only themselves, that others want the real them, that potential is just behind problems, and that they can find—or make—any missing keys to heart’s desires.
