How does your need for certainty play out? Does it force you to try to predict? Does it persuade you to declare things that you don't actually know? Perhaps the need for certainty is powerful enough to rob you of genuine moments with loved ones or with yourself. Research finds that people who take risks (those who step into the unknown) are happier than those who merely reach for reward or gratification. Why? Because healthy risk-taking has rewards sewn into the experience when we authentically try. It builds skills in self-advocacy, self-love and self-worth. Certified in LGBTQ populations, I work with all varieties of sexuality and coupling from monogamy to non-monogamy (CNM, Poly, RA). Topics that tend to challenge us with self or partners, revolve around six areas: Sex, Intimacy, Time, Information, Money, and work/living Spaces. People trade off security for nurturance and vice versa. ︎︎Keep Up With Yourself, not just at the beginning of the year, but all year. Therapy takes you where you are by locating honest meaning, building structure from that meaning, and setting goals. Call me, and let's discuss how to get you back to the person or partner you've hoped to be. Oh, yes you can! I'm a member of GLMA, AASECT, AAMFT, SSSS, and CAMFT
