Suicidal Ideation Therapists in North Branch, NY

Do you seek "happiness", but feel that happiness itself is not enough? Often, “happiness” is the stated goal. Joy, grace, and peace can carry us more securely through "unhappy” (even traumatic) seasons. Do you feel alone?

Do you feel like you "get in your own way"? You are not alone. I encourage my clients to create their own weekly goals - in line with their initial stated goals. I will help you celebrate each step.
