Learn to love yourself
Do you find reasons to put others first and diminish your own challenges, needs, and success? There are systems in place that make us feel obligated to put others first, even to the point that putting ourselves first is never even an option to consider.
If you feel torn in a thousand directions, we can discuss the pressures at play in your life and help you find your place among them.
RelationshipTherapy
Whether you are in a new relationship or a well-established one, You can approach conflict differently
Relationship therapy is a place where partners can speak freely and safely, with a guide to help navigate the tough conversations that either seem to be tiptoed around or keep coming up with no resolution.
While I work with all relationships, multi-racial and biracial partnerships align deeply with my practice.
Hi, I’m SuMing Sullivan
While I do love a good gratitude practice, I am not going to help you find the silver-linings in your life. I will hold space for the hard stuff. That’s because before we can get to fixing (spoiler: you’re not broken, you’re human), we have to do the feeling.
I will help you better to understand yourself and to see yourself with compassion. If you ask yourself, “Why does this keep happening to me?” or “Why can’t we figure this out?” we can explore those patterns and what’s nourishing their roots. Of course, things happen, but how do we heal?
I'm comfortable talking about the uncomfortable. I'm curious without interrogating, and you can tell me when I get it wrong without fear of rebuttal. I have done and continue to do my own race and identity work. I engage with humility and am committed to checking my assumptions and privilege.
