Hi, I'm Robin.
I help adults finally find their sense of self after experiences of abuse, neglect, or parental relationships that left them feeling like they were somehow not enough.
When a caregiver such as a mother or father criticizes you, wants you to be perfect, or holds unrealistic expectations rooted in their own childhood wounds, life can be hard and that hardship continues to be emotionally challenging even in adult years. When I work with clients who have had these experiences and carry the belief that they are less deserving, a disappointment or who have spent a lifetime sacrificing their own needs for others, it is refreshing to see them shift to a feeling of "I do matter". Witnessing that moment and seeing the client recognize their own strength in it is a gift.
