Anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, cultural stress, career counseling, parenting, men’s issues are just a few of the specialties I work with.
Beliefs drive behaviors and, as a result often people complain that they repeat unproductive behaviors that do not lead to healing. Breaking this cycle is easy and by altering our perceptions, we break the cycle of repeating behaviors which in turn could influence others in our life in more positive and productive ways.
