Hello! I’m Lucy
I’m a people person. I light up when I connect deeply with others—and I also know firsthand how draining and frustrating relationships can be, even with those I love dearly.
My Journey to “Good Enough”
As a relationship therapist, my work has been transformed by embracing the notion of “good enough.” Good enough means accepting that imperfection isn’t the enemy of love—it’s part of it. It means finding courage to say “I hurt you” or “I need support” instead of shutting down. It means trusting that love can survive our mistakes and messy emotions.
With “good enough” comes the possibility of self-compassion. Self-compassion isn’t just nice-to-have—it’s the foundation everything else is built on. When we extend kindness to our own imperfect hearts, we become more generous with others, learning to trust our capacity for both loving and being loved.
What This Means for Our Work Together
When I sit with clients now, I bring this understanding: you don’t need to be perfect to be worthy of love. I hold space for the full complexity of being human in relationship—the beauty and the mess, the connection and the conflict.
In our work together, there’s no pressure to be anything other than exactly who you are. We’ll explore your patterns with curiosity, not judgment.
You already have everything you need inside you. Sometimes we just need a safe space to remember that.
