Loneliness isn't the same as being alone. You can be alone and not feel lonely. Lonely feelings arise out of a harsh inner-critic and a lack of self-compassion. It is possible change the way you see yourself and be able to enjoy and seek solace in your own company. Therapy can help you silence negative thoughts and cultivate self-compassion.

Because we internalize what has happened to us in the past, we carry it with us in the present. So, if we experienced the world as a dangerous place early in life, as adults, we have our guard up and feel anxious. If we received the message that we were not valued, we walk through life with low self-esteem, not believing that we are deserving. I help you unlearn these beliefs in therapy so that you can live a more fulfilled and joyful life.
