“My wife and I had been
growing farther and farther
apart.We’d basically stopped
communicating and all we
seemed to do was argue.
Roberta helped us identify the
root of the problem and gain
some insight, which has made
a big difference. Our social life
and our intimate life are much
better already. Before we went
to see Roberta it was like we
were in a tug of war and each
of us were at opposite ends of
the rope. It was literally pulling
our marriage apart. Now,
we’re on the same side.We try
to drag something else into
the mud hole now –
whatever’s against us.”
– Steve,who along with his
wife, had three months of
counselling with Roberta

Are you having fears of being alone, abandoned or criticized?
Do you feel like a victim of circumstance, without hope of overcoming your situation?
Do you feel overwhelmed and have to push yourself hard to do things?
Does a lack of self-esteem or confidence cause your career or personal relationships to suffer?
Are you and your spouse always arguing and feeling like you’re growing apart?
Are you haunted by memories of abuse?
Do you feel shameful or think you’re defective in some way?
Do you have difficulty forming relationships and maintaining them?
