Message to clients

Your concerns, worry, stress, insecurities and defeats are my concerns. I wonder if you believe that you are alone and that there is no one who truly understands the depths of your troubles. How have you been feeling the past few weeks? The past few months? Has life taken a turn for the worse and that you are left with no tools to cope? I am glad that you are on the right path and looking for a therapist. I am understanding, compassionate, empathic and always open to hear your thoughts. Our work together will be challenging. My hope for you is that you will be able to trust the process the same way you will learn again to trust yourself. And learn despite of all of these obstacles, you're able to find your light and shine again.

Take care.
