LCSW, Certified Master Equine Gestaltist

I support people of all genders who are dating or in a relationship feel more secure and confident in themselves and more connected with their partner so they stop feeling taken for granted, anxious, frustrated and stuck.

My clients struggle as you do. Despite being fun and loving and having a desire to be in a happy, healthy relationship, it can feel like so much work to get there! 

When my clients first come in, they feel ashamed that they can’t get or maintain a healthy relationship on their own. Their confidence in themselves is way down and they don’t trust themselves to know what they’re doing. Often they don’t even know what they want, or if they do, how to get it.

They sometimes come in struggling to find love in the crazy dating world and wondering what they’re doing wrong. They worry they might be unloveable or undesirable by others. Some of them have been through devastating heartbreak and they’re terrified of trying to find love again. Others wonder why they seem to only attract the exact opposite of what they are looking for and they’re exhausted from trying.

Other clients are sad and frustrated in their current relationship. Communication and conflict repair seems so hard. They miss how much fun they used to have with their partner and how connected they once felt. They often still love their partner and want things to work, they’re just tired of feeling lonely, disconnected and resentful. 

Their lack of confidence in themselves, when it comes to relationships especially, gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They don’t have the relationship that they want. They aren’t the kind of person they want to be. They feel like they’re failing at being the partner they deep down want to be, and sometimes they feel like they’re tanking as a parent at the same time.  

Before they came to see me, they felt embarrassed by not being able to figure things out on their own.  Everyone around them makes it look like the whole relationship thing is so easy and they wonder why they just can’t get it. They blamed themselves and worried it would be terrifying to face the truth about what’s impacting their relationships. They were pretty certain that they’ve tried everything that they could already and this was just the way things would be forever. But they were so unhappy.

You deserve to be seen and heard.

You deserve to have clarity and certainty about what kind of relationship you want and what you need to do to get it.

Having loving, fun, happy and healthy relationships is not out of your reach and you deserve to be happy!

If you want to feel wildly confident in who you are so you can have the relationships that you want in life, I’d love to help you get there.  

Call now. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. I can help.

The Equine Gestalt Coaching Method® was developed by Melisa Pearce,  a core founder since 1989, of the horse-­human healing movement. The experiential nature of the method involves the horse as an active partner with the coach in the client’s exploratory process. The integrative approach of the equine’s interaction combined with positive coaching, somatic awareness guidance and Gestalt methodology, assists the client in examining their life and choices made with a focus on designing a positive future.
