Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the services I offer. Counseling can be a bit intimidating, but my role is to guide you on a journey at a pace determined by you. I ask my clients....1. What do you want or need in your life and in the future? 2. In what time frame? 3. What percentage are you dedicated to working on change, even it feels uncomfortable? 4. What motivates you?
I take the time to listen and identify and build on strengths. 1. Coaching and counseling for divorce related issues. 2. Bariatric surgery : pre & post surgical counseling and coaching, evaluations for doctors &insurance companies, 3. Reproductive mental health- infertility, preg loss, surrogacy screenings, crisis preg. perinatal mental health etc
Every one of us has a life story and I would love to know yours. Entering into therapy can lead one to feel vulnerable and experience fears. You and I would be partners in this experience and part of my role is to quiet those fears and help you find courage. Highly suggested Netflix special if you have time: Brene' Brown's Call to Courage. Excellent watch.
