Jan 31st! Group Therapy: The Mastery of Vulnerability -Limited Spots! SIGN UP NOW!! 〰️

Does it feel like life keeps reopening the same wounds?

The same problems and arguments and not getting your needs met

The same heavy emotions of sadness, overwhleming anxiety, and resentment taking over

The same feeling of being too much or not enough—

It’s a cycle of hurt you don’t deserve

But Why? No matter how hard you try, it just keeps happening.

You might not realize it, but there’s a part of you—deep beneath the surface—that’s quietly running the show.

It’s the unconscious.

This intricate web of past experiences, beliefs, and emotions works behind the scenes, shaping how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how you respond to life’s challenges.

It’s soooooooo frustrating, isn’t it? Like no matter what you do, you can’t escape the patterns that keep pulling you back. That’s because these patterns aren’t just random—they’re rooted deep in you, and most likely formed to protect you but often ends up keeping you stuck.

But here’s the good news

Once you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, you can start to rewrite the script (actually rewiring your brain).

“Relationships have been my focus with every person I work with; I help them improve their sense of connection and safety in relationships.”

This isn’t about quick fixes- it’s about deep lasting change.

It’s about breaking free from the patterns that make you feel stuck and stepping into relationships, choices, and a life that finally feels aligned with who you truly are.

Start feeling more confident, connected in your relationships, and having more compassion for yourself in all aspects of life!

In our work together, we’ll be curious, uncovering the patterns your unconscious has been holding onto and explore why they’re there.
