You're in emotional pain, you have problems you've been trying to solve. You want to feel better, to feel seen, heard, understood. You want to change, feel better.
I have worked with a wide variety of clients with backgrounds ranging from street homeless to successful business owner, sometimes in the same person. I've trained in a variety of treatment methods but try to avoid therapy-speak while using them. Clients I've seen have suffered from anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, addictions.
Looking for help can feel so hard. Who to trust? It's safe to get in touch; if we talk for a little bit you can get a feeling for whether or not we can work together. I'd love to be able to help, but if we talk and you don't feel it's a fit for you, that's OK.
