Are you overwhelmed by daily tasks? Do you often feel that you are not good enough or that other people don't value and respect you? Do you experience sadness, loneliness, guilt or fear? Have you turned to self-defeating means (addictions, withdrawing, self-abuse, abusive relationships, etc) to cope with these feelings? If so, you are not alone. There is a good chance that the sense of "something missing" you feel comes from childhood issues. Others with these concerns benefit from therapy everyday. Please let me help. I believe that therapy can produce healthy changes. I love being a therapist and understand the risk involved in taking the first steps toward getting help.
