Congratulations on taking the first steps to a healthier, happier you! 

If you are interested in beginning your journey of self-exploration with a authentic, dedicated, caring, trained professional then you are in the right place. I will challenge you to explore your thoughts, feelings and actions in a way that you have never done before.

Much like a personal trainer you will probably hate me at some point during our work together but when the smoke clears you will see that your hard work has paid off.

 

If you are up for the challenge, then please review my site. If you're not ready right now, that's okay, I'll be here when you are.

 

The decision to consult a therapist is rarely an easy one. There are many considerations to make. You're probably asking yourself "Do I have the time?", "Do I have the money?", "Will this work?", "What does a therapist do?".

 

To some of you seeking therapy means admitting that things have gotten out of control or that you don't know the answer. To many of you allowing a stranger into your "business" is the most difficult step of all.

 

I want to confirm that all of your questions are valid. Therapy can be time consuming and expensive. Therapy means that you have to relinquish or at least alter your concept of control. Most of all therapy means allowing a stranger into your "business". 

 

The decision to speak with a therapist can be the most life-changing step that you'll ever make. Your time, money and effort will all be worth it as long as you allow yourself to be honest and vulnerable.

 

You get out of therapy what you put into it. 

 

It's time to stop wishing for a better life and start doing the work to make it happen.
