Sometimes life can be a real kick in the pants, get messy, bog you down, or is just plain crappy. And that sucks. You might be experiencing difficult feelings, have challenges in connecting with others, or feel like coping with day to day stuff is too much. Maybe there have been ongoing patterns in your life that you want to stop repeating, or perhaps you have just had a big change, like a major loss, or change in your health. Whatever it may be, you recognize that you want something different for yourself. And that's a big deal.
My approach is strength-based, holistic, and infused with humor. While I bring a lot of experience from the world of healthcare and social service, I truly believe you are the expert. I provide a welcoming space for us to collaborate, to figure out what is meaningful for you, and try some paths to get there.
Maybe you only need a few sessions to help make a life decision, or maybe you want to dive deeper and stick around for a while. It’s up to you! Reach out, and let's figure out if we're a good fit. I'm available for a free 15-minute consult.
