Even though anxiety is a normal human emotion. Sometimes people feel highly anxious or nervous and this causes such distress that interferes with a person’s ability to function.

Trauma
Trauma is the unique individual experience of an event or persistent negative conditions that overwhelms the individual’s ability to integrate his /her emotions and thoughts. When a person experiences trauma, the person is having a subjective threat to life, bodily integrity or sanity.

Phobias, Obsessions and Compulsions
Phobias and obsessions are irrational ways that our minds use to manage stressful situations. When we do not have the appropriate understanding, support and coping skills to manage stress, we experience extreme fears which force us to avoid situations;
Obsessions are repetitive thoughts, while compulsions are repetitive actions that we feel little or no control over.
Often, we feel uncontrollable anxiety when we attempt to stop these thoughts. But you are not trapped; there is a solution and a way out.
Breaking Life Patterns
When we are born, we internalize the way our families and our cultures understand and manage the world. As we grow, we develop un understanding about who we are (inner self) and learn the roles and rules we need to survive in our families and societies (public self).
Some of us belong to a family that has an unhealthy family system. We all learn from our families: As adults, we repeat what we saw and heard when younger. It is reflected in the way we explain the world, our relations, and the choices we make. The only way to change it is to understand what we learned and to find the alternative choices. I can help you do both.
Life Goals
Goals are often used when we officially transition from adolescence to adulthood or any other milestone in our lives. They are also used in business to keep clear direction and clarify required actions.
Goals help in other areas of our lives. Clear goals in family, relations, school, employment, finances, health, retirement, etc. Goals keep us focused, motivated and informed about choices and consequences. Most importantly, goals allow us to prioritize our actions so we can move in a consistent direction relevant to what is important to us.
Personal Development
We are constantly striving toward improving the quality of our lives. The area of relations is one where we can experience significant improvements. We can better the quality of the relationship with ourselves, our love ones and the people in our workplace.
Personal Development requires that we make changes: learning how we manage relations, identifying our needs, setting boundaries, asking for what we need. We must also focus on ways of expressing anger and frustration, setting goals and taking care of ourselves and others.
People in healthy relations enjoy themselves more, find peace, struggle less with others and have lasting relationships.
Self Esteem and Awareness
Clients empowered with coping skills, self-esteem, and self-awareness has the necessary tools to facilitate positive change and to make the desired changes.
Self-awareness allows us to gain a greater understanding about what we think, feel and do; It inform us what is and what is not working and what needs to change. To become self-aware is to develop an internal center that provides inner control and the ability to see and make new choices. This is possible to experience.
