Most individuals have times when they don't feel effective, or they fear taking the next step or making a wrong decision. Issues such as anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, past sexual abuse or trauma, personality factors or other mental health disorders may get in the way of creating the life you want to live. Psychotherapy can help you define specifically where you want to go from here, and identify patterns and other factors that may be keeping you from achieving and creating your best self.

Life; full of moments of joy and moments of pain.
