As a Psychologist I integrate and believe we are whole and complete and that often things we struggle with are current challenges often linked to past hurts or unmet needs from earlier in life. The process includes helping the individual see they are enough and completely lovable in who they are today and as they grow and heal they will continue to love themselves more deeply and be able to love others more deeply.
