I will use my 30 years of experience to help you find a path forward, together we will discover your goals and most importantly who you are and what your life should look like. I will create a safe place where you can face your confusion, fear, hurt and anger with support and guidance but without judgement. At the end of our journey together, I want you to be free to follow your dreams, explore your passions, reconnect with those around you and find your joy in life. WARNING: being comfortable will feel very strange after living in discomfort
I am not just a therapist who went to school, I have also lived a messy life. I'll use everything I know to help you understand your unique situation and find your answers and your path out of the dark place that brought you into my care.
Experience has taught me a lot about people, mostly that the strength and insight needed to navigate your struggles is within you, just a little support from me is needed for you to accept those truths. In addition the tools and skills I will teach you will have you defeating what's holding you back. Let's set up a free consult to see if we are a good fit
