Many people who come to see me have frequently had disappointing experiences with therapists in the past "We just didn't click" or "all they did was nod their heads and didn't say much". When you run out of ways to make change and don't know how to do it, the last thing you need to feel in therapy is alone. Change takes energy, action, hard work and sometimes the support and guidance of someone to help you make it!
It takes courage to reach out to someone you don't know and ask for help. We all face challenges but none of us have all of the solutions. Over twenty years of experience as a therapist and life coach has taught me that an active collaboration to bring about change leads to powerful results.
Encouraging you to challenge what doesn't work and discover what really does, you will learn to let go of false expectations and to find joy and pleasure in everyday living through compassion, humor and a big box of tools and life strategies to make it happen!
