"​Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.” Mary Anne Radmacher My ideal client is having issues with past traumas, life transitions and troubles. They want to see their life get easier and more joyful. We can figure out therapeutically what's needed and negotiate the number of sessions. With my own life and professional experiences, I bring a wealth of treatment options and resources. I offer a free initial phone (call 15-20 minutes) to help you determine if I'm the therapist for your needs at this time. Sessions are virtual due to COVID-19.
We all experience trauma, go through major transitions and experience troubles in our lives. Some people experience more of these and some suffer more from their experiences than others. Is your past preventing enjoyment of the present? blocking hopes for the future? Retiring? Dying? Therapy can help settle the past and open possibilities for the future.
"The most important thing I, or any other therapist, can do is offer an authentic healing relationship from which patients can draw whatever they need." Irvin Yalom My intention is create a therapeutic bond and authentic healing relationship that enables you to process, heal and grow.
