Due to my broad background, my clients often come to me because of issues relating to family conflict, work/life balance, anxiety, depression, stress management, low self-esteem, and emotional/psychological abuse.

This is my first experience with therapy. I really didn't know what to expect, but it has been life-changing. Konstance has given me so much guidance into recognizing negative thought patterns and feelings, and ways to help me change them. She never pushes an agenda, she lets me bring whatever is on my mind to discussion each week. She has a wide base of research and practical experience to share, is easy to talk to and a good listener. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to work with her!" "Incredibly sweet, thoughtful, understanding and helpful insights from her. So comforting to talk to. I've never felt judged and feel so comfortable talking about my experiences
