Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
-Carl Jung
I work with adults who struggle with codependence, anxious attachment, confidence, self-abandonment, overthinking, overexplaining, catastrophizing, boundary-setting, & more.
Kerrie Jones, AMFT, APCC
I’m no stranger to the pain of disappointment that comes when you’ve done the best with what you have, only to receive what seems like the worst. It was this pain that revealed my purpose to become the woman who would love herself completely and unconditionally, and teach other women to do the same. After breaking free from a 12-year cycle of narcissistic abuse, I thought I’d never enter into another romantic relationship again. I was determined to protect
myself by never allowing myself to love again, and healing had other plans.
I began the work of understanding myself and my choices, and I soon realized the problem wasn’t love, nor was it the men I chose to love. The problem was I hadn’t fully loved myself; I didn’t know how. As I continued the work within, I found more than healing – I found purpose in guiding other women to restoration, so they can reclaim lives filled with purpose, power, and pleasure.
Today, I help women to work through trauma so they can identify love, embrace and use their voice, and retain their power in their relationship with themselves and others.
Now it’s your turn. If you’re ready to do the work of being restored, allow me to guide you.
My Therapeutic Viewpoint
Safety
When you feel safe & supported you are free to let the real you emerge. Therapy needs to be safe so you can explore the unsafe circumstances of your past.
Mutuality
In therapy, we work together. You are the expert of your life and the answers you seek lie within you. You set the destination, I navigate us there.
Authenticity
Be you! I will not judge you. Bring your grief, guilt, shame & pain, I will hold it. Authenticity in therapy gives you confidence to be you everywhere you go.
