Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), National Certified Counselor (NCC)
Can you imagine yourself confidently connecting with others? Do you wish to feel more valued and heard?
You are the lonely one; you feel unseen. You feel deeply, and your emotions are intense. You are jealous of others who find it easy to connect, and you want what they have. When you seek connection, people disappoint you with their lack of authenticity. You love, but don't know how to be loved. You once thought a romantic relationship or best friend would be the solution; you would feel whole. But you did not feel complete, and happiness started to feel out of reach. Understanding in your relationships feels foreign. Despite your frustration, you are committed to finding understanding, being valued, and connecting with others. You want to shine and thrive. I know your inner world's importance. I am familiar with the challenge of discovering how to fit in the social world. Together, we will find your confidence. We will explore fears, hang-ups, and insecurities together. I am an experienced therapist whose specialty is working with social anxiety, insecurity and lack of confidence. Take the first step towards the confidence and connection you want! Contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
