GPS tells you what to do, where to turn, or tells you how long until you get there. I don't give advice as you could get from family, friends, coworkers, or classmates. I create a confidential, non-judgemental, and collaborative space for you to explore your options, address barriers and obstacles, and help you feel confident about making decisions and changes. We work on building on what you know of yourself and being open to learning more and trying something new. We learn to stay calm and grounded so we know what to do when we're lost or get cut off, and you'll get to know you like your area so you won't need to rely on that GPS
