Philosophy & Vision
You may feel anxious, depressed, experience recurrent unhelpful relationship patterns, have a pervasive sense of discontent or just feel stuck.
I can help you understand the history of your problems and learn healthier ways to relate to yourself and others. Whether you are dealing with unresolved trauma, need help setting boundaries in relationships, feel you don't quite belong, are underachieving, or cannot enjoy your successes, I will help you find solutions to your immediate issues, while also exploring how your previous experiences affect your responses, relationships and self-perception.
