About

Often clients struggle with past difficulties encountered during childhood. Many of these painful, even traumatic experiences occur within their family of origin or with peers. As the person enters adulthood and then moves through later milestones, their childhood wounds can hinder present healthy development and interfere with their ability to become their authentic selves. Relational issues emerge as the person seeks intimacy and connection with others. Feelings of loneliness and isolation can result in anxiety and depression because these interpersonal challenges interfere with one's core sense of fulfillment and meaning in life.
