Breakdowns are restrictive. Breakthroughs are liberating!
Let's face it. Being a human is tough sometimes. Many of us would stay right where we are if it weren't for a difficult situation requiring us to change. Things start breaking down and you don't know what to do about it. Sound familiar?
Having the right therapist see and hear you can help you find the courage to take an active role in your life. I provide a safe place to explore your feelings and gain insight into the roots of beliefs and behaviors that get in the way of your happiness. That's where the breakthrough comes in.
In our work together you will be able to address any past concerns, make the most of your current situation, and create the future you want for yourself.
