Start Feeling Better Now

Maybe you have an overdeveloped sense of responsibility. It might be easier for you to be concerned with others rather than yourself; you feel guilty when you stand up for yourself instead of giving into others.

You have “stuffed” your feelings and have lost the ability to feel or express your emotions because it hurts so much, or it’s just too frightening.

You judge yourself harshly and have a low self-esteem. 

You find yourself attracting and staying with unhealthy partners, and still, you’ll do anything to hold on to a relationship and not experience painful abandonment feelings.

You might find yourself thinking:

“I can’t ask for what I want.”
“Is there something wrong with me?”
“Why can’t I get my needs met?”
“There must be more to life than this.”

As a result, you feel alone, hopeless and misunderstood. You feel a lack of energy and drive to engage in life. The everyday task that once seemed so simple is now difficult and demanding. Maybe you feel sadness, anger, shame, guilt, and an underlying feeling of being “not good enough.”

So, what’s at stake if you continue to avoid taking action?

Relationships falling apart, further isolation and even more loneliness. Symptoms of depression and anxiety increasing to debilitating levels. A downward spiral: you increasingly feel worse, problems accumulating, work and daily activities getting more and more difficult to deal with, stress is becoming harder and harder to manage, the result? Feeling less confident in yourself.

Things could get worse but, if you reach out, they don’t have to. Life can start getting better today. You’ve come to the right place.

We know how hard it is to struggle and wonder if things are ever going to get better.
We can help you to find your true self again and take control of your life. 

We have made it our purpose to help people heal and live the life they desire!

It can be challenging and sometimes even frightening to take the first step and reach out for help. We promise to make the next steps as easy as possible for you. Call or email us — We can address any concerns you may have.

Life doesn’t have to be so challenging and stressful. You don’t have to do it alone. You deserve to have fulfilling relationships with friends and loved ones and especially with yourself.

Xiva Taverna

I want to help you live a life full of meaning and feel more connected to yourself and others. I became a counselling therapist because I wanted to help people recover from childhood trauma and toxic shame. It can be challenging and sometimes even frightening to take the first step and reach out for help. Life doesn’t have to be so challenging and stressful. You don’t have to do it alone. I promise to make the next steps as easy as possible for you.
