Please Be Aware that I offer online sessions only! Can you relate to any of the following? Anxiety, confusion, loss of direction, depression, excessive thinking, relationship problems, addictions, procrastination, spiritual struggles, traumas or do you simply need someone to speak to that you can trust, feel at ease and help you structure your thoughts in a safe and warm environment? Are you tired of living each day and that it simply feels like another day and that everything remains the same? Would you like to become your own therapist and welcome change, in order to truly enjoy the adventure of life?
I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and Hypnotherapist, Life Coach and NLP Practitioner, Registered Psychometrist, specialized in addictions and my goal is to teach you how to use specific and necessary skills that will empower you to become your own therapist. These skills involve identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs and changing behaviors.
You do already have the skills present in you, you have it. I am only going to teach you how to use them in ways that will be of utmost benefit for you. In other words, I will encourage you to transfer the skills to the areas that will help you live a more effective, satisfying life which is not based on avoidance and self-deception.
