Self-Esteem
Would you like to improve the beliefs you have about yourself?
The way we perceive and value ourselves can have an impact on our personal and professional goals, our relationships, and our ability to just ‘be ourselves’.
We will create a plan to transform your inner critic into your inner cheerleader. We will build your confidence, practice setting healthy boundaries, cultivate compassion for yourself, and create a more positive mindset.
Anxiety
Do you feel as though anxiety has taken over areas of your life?
In moderate doses, anxiety is helpful! It helps us focus, set and meet our goals, and keeps us moving forward. Issues
can arise, though, when anxiety exceeds its helpfulness.
Let’s create a strategy for keeping anxiety in its helpful place, getting rid of the excess, and put you back in the driver’s seat.
Stress
Stress from work, school, relationships, and local and global events can become difficult to manage.
Our ability to deal with stress changes throughout our life. Receiving some support and adding a few tools to your toolbox might go a long way to feeling on top of things again.
We will identify the factors that are outside of your control, and create strategies to let these go. We will also identify the factors that are within your control, utilize your strengths, and find ways to better manage the stress you are experiencing.
