You are not broken

Many of my clients feel lonely in a crowded room.
Not broken—just burdened. Often by parts of themselves that have never been fully heard.

When we look at the quality of our relationships, we can often find the source of our loneliness. For example, we might be stuck in unhelpful patterns with our friends and family, unable to live authentically out of fear of rejection or judgment. To change this can sometimes require a deep dive into the expectations and assumptions that were given to us at an early age. Therapy is a wonderful opportunity to examine each expectation and assumption and decide whether we need to keep these or discard them, replacing them with something that is a better fit.

This is where a psychotherapist can help you with loneliness. I can help you to identify loneliness as one of the root causes of your mental distress, and I can then help you to plan how you are going to tackle this. I use EMDR and Polyvagal theory to help you reconnect with the self beneath the stress.
 
When you're ready to feel whole again, I'm here.
