Are you a woman who feels like something's missing in your life or in you?

Together, we can do something about that.

On the outside,
your life might look just fine to others.
But on the inside you don't feel fine.

You've lost track of an important part of yourself.

There's an empty space inside, and you're not sure you really know yourself.

Your self-esteem and self-compassion need a boost.

You're hard on yourself, your own biggest critic. You think you're not enough.

Stress, anxiety and worry are frequent companions.

Your thoughts can go a mile a minute. You feel tense and it’s difficult to relax.

You've been overwhelmed by grief, loss or life transition.

You feel raw and confused, and are struggling to make sense of things.

It's hard to feel joy and you wonder if you’re depressed.

Your enthusiasm is missing, and it's an effort to get through the day.

You thought your life or career would be more satisfying.

You’re unsure where you’re headed, or can’t get going on your plans and goals.

If you see yourself here you're not alone. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, focused support is available through brief therapy or coaching. No long term commitment required.
