I am a psychotherapist and licensed Marriage and Family therapist in Newport Beach, California. I often work with individuals who experience an inner critical voice that attacks them with messages such as: “I am not enough”; “I need to be a better person”; "I cannot trust others". Some explain feeling overly responsible and share that they have difficulty expressing their authentic feelings to others. We often have a way in which we believe we need to be or not be in order to feel acceptable. We can learn to reject elements of our personality, body or spirituality in an effort to gain love from others. Feelings of shame, guilt, anxiety, and of “not being enough” are often directly connected to our inability to accept and care for ourselves wholly and freely. I help my clients discover that there is plenty of room for every aspect of their personhood.
