Humanwillperform at St. Petersburg Counseling

Specialties

Olivia views her job as being an advocate, someone who walks with you as you grow in awareness of yourself while capitalizing on your goals and dreams. Performance, for Olivia, speaks more to how well you are functioning across all areas of your life. Are there barriers that are keeping you from living in the full expression of who you are? Do you struggle to communicate effectively with your partner? Is anxiety taking over your life and preventing you from connecting with others? Struggling to silence the trauma and abuse from your past? Olivia’s greatest joy is to help kids/​adolescents/​adults identify their deepest struggles in order to help them live a life they are excited about! Perform well. Live better.
