People say- "You have a problem, get it fixed- go see someone!" I say- "You have 'feelings'- go share them with someone!" 'Problems/issues' has a negative connotation; there are only feelings to start with- it can be fear, love, guilt, desire, anger, inhibition, disappointment, uncertainty. These are a part of human experience and totally normal, you are bound to have them...unless they become extreme or unbearable (that is when they become problems). I will help you in dealing with yourself and not let these feelings become the so-called 'problems'. I am a coach and learning expert that can help you learn 'you'. Let's learn!

An ideal client would come in with complex issues/stressors and be able to talk freely. Perhaps this client is not as self-aware as they thought they were and need help poking holes in different mindsets or beliefs to expand how they view certain things.

Therapy, like anything new, can feel intimidating to begin. I am so glad you’re here, and I encourage you to make the commitment to yourself. I have worked with many people with no prior experience in therapy, and I’m excited to help you feel comfortable with the process. If you've attended therapy before, maybe you’re worried about taking the leap in a new therapeutic relationship. I understand how hard it can be to “start over” or open up. My approach is warm, welcoming and non-judgemental. I laugh a lot with my clients, and find humor to be a healing element of treatment. Together we will collaborate to discuss your goals.
