Psychotherapy

Do stress and worry get in the way of your participating fully in life? Do you have trouble being yourself in relationships? Are your choices guided by what looks good to others and not what’s best for you? Are frustration, stress and negative thinking getting in the way of your well-being? Are you struggling to make an important choice or adapt to a new change in your life?
