My perspective on mental health help is a coaching relationship where we work together to achieve your goals and arrive at your perspective on your best life. I believe deeply that our first inner voice is that of our caregivers in childhood and that the manner in which we are prepared to enter the world has everything to do with how we will manage stress, health, relationships, adversity and, our own happiness. It is not about blaming, but rather about understanding our perspective; how we came to arrive at making the decisions we have, and then gaining new perspective and skills to take control fully as healthy happy people.
