Hi! Nice to "meet" you. My philosophy is that we are all human beings before anything else and human beings need food, water, air, shelter and safety to survive. My therapeutic goal with clients is to provide that safe space to work through life’s troubles. When a time comes where problems are interfering with your capacity to function properly, therapy can be a great help. I believe that therapy can be the gateway from the life you currently live to the life you want to live. Acknowledging that we are human and we do not always get it right or know all of the answers is a sign of strength and willingness to grow.
