Perhaps you sometimes suffer from anxiety, but don't know why. Perhaps you feel a little sad or unhappy, and think "maybe I have depession." Or there may be a nagging inner voice telling you negative things about yourself. Maybe you've become a little short-tempered with those around you, which is affecting your personal or professional life. Together, we will gently explore what may be causing these uncomfortable feelings and negative behaviors. With this knowledge you will begin to return to your true, authentic self. I have helped many others with similar issues, and I look forward to helping you too.

If you are wanting to increase your self-esteem and stop relying on other people to validate your worth, if you desperately wish you didn't have to rely on drugs or alcohol to medicate your emotional pain or if you are tired of constant conflict in your relationship, then give us a call. In our work together you will be supported, you will be empowered and you will be guided with compassion so that you can make the changes necessary to move on to the next chapter of your life!
