Do you feel like you're failing or a fraud? Or no matter what you do, you feel like you're not doing 'enough' or "not good enough"? Do you find yourself more accepting of others mistakes or flaws, but not your own? Or find yourself angry and resenting others but aren't sure why? Do people tell you you're "too much" or "too sensitive"?

Healing starts with a wholeness that comes with feeling safe and supported in a compassionate and nurturing therapeutic environment. Through being able to explore and express ourselves genuinely, we can learn to manage daily challenges and live a more meaningful life.
