Inner Child Therapy

I help courageous, committed, and open-minded individuals who are experiencing a pattern of either anxiety, conflict, and or unhappiness fuel by their relationships with others and or themselves, who will accept me as their guide to help them feel safe and empowered in their lives.  As an inner child therapist, I will help you achieve this through a road map filled with tips, tools and mini lessons that will support you so that you can have the life you deserve. 

We will always start therapy by talking about your issue at hand.  After, we will dive into the inner child therapy transformation.

What you repeat gets ingrained.  And we have a lot of limiting beliefs ingrained in us.  To break from them we must start by first getting clear of what it is that we want our new life to look like.  Get ready to challenge your beliefs.  To feel a lot of feelings like anger and sadness while you go through this journey.  I am here to guide you, but you will be the one doing the work.    

The core of this therapy is learning how to have a conversation with your subconscious.  All the while you learn about yourself and take a clear look at what your life looks like at this moment.  Get ready to do charts, vision boards, do exercises, talk about your family dynamics, receive tips (how not to take things personal, how to make a decision based on your values, how to encourage yourself to do when you don’t have the motivation) among other things. 

The results are life changing.  There is a before and an after.  All you must do is make a decision to do it.
