I can help you process and recover from challenging and traumatic experiences and losses, or for example work through difficult endings of relationships. I can  help you create strategies to manage feelings such as anxiety fear panic, frustration, anger  achieving emotional regulation.

Additionally, finding joy and contentment in life can be facilitated.
