You're not crazy. You make sense. I've found these words to be very powerful in my 25 years of clinical experience. Everyone has pain; all of us have gone through something. You want to know that what you are experiencing can be understood and figured out. You want some relief. As human beings, sometimes we look for relief in ways that are self-defeating or not super helpful in the long run. Whatever your experiences or current struggles, my role is to help you find your way through it. I offer online therapy as well as life coaching. (Check out my links to learn more about the difference.) You’re not crazy; you make sense.
