You are a high achiever who does what it takes to get ahead. You've been described as industrious, passionate, serious, and intense. You are the person your friends and family come to with their problems as you appear to have it all together. You are holding so much for everyone else, but you feel so alone. Below this confident exterior, anxiety brews. You are a deeply feeling person and yet sometimes feel unseen. Your inner critic can be loud and it often tells you that you're not enough. I am here to help you discover why you feel this way, to hold space, and to explore the inner workings of your multi-layered self.

Hi! I'm Zeb. I understand that when a young person is experiencing emotional or behavioural problems it reorganizes the way that a whole family functions. I believe that better understanding our own emotions and the emotions of others is the key to helping make positive change in the lives of children and families.
