"Thanks for looking to me as your prospective psychotherapist. I wish it were otherwise, but suffering is intrinsic to life. However, adversity can deepen our happiness if we learn to live more consciously. What we resist, persists. What unexamined core beliefs have you living below your potential? Together, we'll challenge seemingly 'protective' self-sabotage, explore your deepest aspirations, and develop strategies against overwhelm and discouragement. Instead of relying upon outer authority, we will access your innate wisdom. Through your core values, you'll be supported in taking decisive action to live your singular life with greater purpose and meaning."
