Hello, I'm Sally. If you are feeling stuck in your relationship to yourself, to others, and to your lifeâs goals and purpose, I can help. We frequently receive and form distorted beliefs in childhood and beyond that cause us to believe we are not lovable, worthy, or okay as we are.

By uncovering these patterns and beliefs, we can clear the way for change ...
