Clients sometimes ask me why it's easier for them to talk about "heavy" things in my office, versus at home or with their friends. Their second question/concern is about why they should use their resources to take care of themselves instead of other things...

Your story matters! Taking care of You is one of the most important commitments that you'll ever make. Self awareness and confidence is something that every person deserves.

You've had enough. You're tired of the miscommunications, the drawn-out arguments, the constant let-downs. No matter how many self-help books you read, you and your partner just can't seem to get on the same page anymore. That effortless connection you had in the beginning has been replaced by what feels like miles between you, talking it out only makes you feel more alone, and you ask yourself, "When did things become so one-sided?" You miss the person you were when you were happy, you hardly recognize the one you fell in love with, and you wanna know what the hell happened. It's time to start speaking each other’s language again.
