Sometimes in life, we face problems or setbacks that impede our relationships, identity, self-esteem, and even aspirations.

I utilize personal strengths to build inner resources to cope with daily life stressors, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. “Successful long-term relationships are created through small words, small gestures, and small acts ― John M.

The work is mainly to encourage the patient to talk and explore their feelings, beliefs, and thoughts which develops integrated mindful awareness. In other words emotional growth. Additionally, this is a process which seeks to help gain an increased capacity for choice, through which the patient becomes more autonomous,functional and self-determined.
