A client should be motivated for change, seeking desired progress from where they are in this moment to where they envision themselves.

Life Coaching & Psycho-Creative Counseling: Jungian Depth psychology is a transformative journey that brings attention to the hidden aspects of the self that control 90 percent of our actions.

I am the personal trainer of the mind. If you're not controlling your thoughts, then they will control you! People focus daily on making their bodies healthy, but what about our minds? If we don't train our brains to focus on having a positive outlook, then our brains will get out of shape similar to the body. Hence, anxiety, depression, and all sorts of other mental and emotional issues. The mind is like a muscle, and you need to program it with skills that you can utilize daily. If you are ready, you can take control of your internal person and become your highest self! You deserve to experience peace, joy, and happiness!
