As Brenda Peterson says “like water, be gentle and strong. Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world.” Therapy provides a structure in which to grow and reorient toward possibilities, to unearth and surpass obstacles in the way of a natural evolution toward health and to develop relationship patterns that are non reactive and supportive of both the other and the self.
Therapy assists in increasing inner peace, being centered, and in developing contentment for those who are anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed with life’s challenges. Should you be interested in finding out more about how I can be of service to you, please reach out to me on my contact page.
