If you are looking for a traditional therapist - I am not for you. I get it; you've gone to therapy before and did not get the results you were hoping to achieve.

You've read self-help books, watched numerous YouTube videos, listened to dozens of podcasts, even attended retreats/seminars to level up, but the changes were not long-lasting. That is where I can help.
