If you are looking for a place that's quiet and calm, a place where you can slow down the hurriedness of life, a place where you can take the time you need to recover and perhaps discover the person that you are with full acceptance and support, then there is a seat here for you.  Together, we can seek to reduce your inner critic as we understand the more difficult aspects of yourself—including the shameful, fearful, and painful parts. We will work to discover why they exist and ask how your life might be different when these parts of yourself are quieted and no longer dominate over your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

You can find peace within yourself and your relationships through a process of self-reflection, effective communication, and healthy boundaries.
