RESTORE YOUR HEART



Hi There,

You are looking for something... something to help you feel like yourself again and as quickly as possible.  I find most folks want the roadmap, the blueprint, the lesson plan.  


I created Chartreuse Center with you in mind.  I'm here to tell you, there is hope and growth through your pain and struggle.  It may be hard to believe at this point.  You will find yourself again.   You will merge your previous self with the knowledge you gain from this situation and emerge with a greater appreciation for your life and those around you.


Counseling and self-guided online programs are designed around what works... You know that roadmap? Well, the self-guided programs are set up to give you meaningful information & effective tools that help you in your situation. The "roadmap," if you will, to best understand YOUR personal transformation, right here, right now.


Counseling or self-guided online programs compassionately guide you to;
❤︎ A reduced a sense of isolation; feeling understood and accepted
❤︎ Understand your emotions, reactions to social situations, and how to cope
❤︎ Clarify expectations of your friendship and family relationships
❤︎ Identify the type of support you seek from relationships and how to obtain support
❤︎ Redefine a sense of "self" based on new stage of life
❤︎ Renew your self esteem and your confidence builds
❤︎ Improve communication and connection in your marriage and love relationships

I made a clear decision to specialize in order to provide YOU with expertise you deserve and exceptional care to help you move through your experience, understand your struggle, realign your core and restore your heart.  


My heart is with you,
