Are you self-critical? Do you worry about others judging you? You wish your life was different. You are constantly on the go, juggling two or three things at the same time including the help you offer others because you can’t stop yourself.

You don’t enjoy life like you used to. Where is the motivation you had before? I will help you ease self-doubt, feel more confident, and have healthier relationships.

I work with people in transition or who are preparing for change. Artists, actors and writers. Those in bereavement.
