Do you need HOPE? Do you need to RECOVER FROM EMOTIONAL PAIN? Do you need to THRIVE? You can move to EMPOWERMENT. "Yesterday does not have to dictate tomorrow." What does a better future for you look like? "Talking about painful events is important to the extent the past is effecting your life." Beyond that it's like hitting your head with a hammer it does no good & hurts. We strive to have you leaving sessions HOPEFUL & FOCUSED. At the beginning our work may be slow. Just as bad things have snow balled , "So can the positive."
How I help you? Six years of college, two years of Post Graduate Training, & working with thousands of people over 16 years has taught me my first duty is to alleviate pain. To move you from a victim, to survivor, to thriver. Do you want your life better?
Many people tell me they enjoy therapy with me because, "I'm pragmatic & give tools they can use now." Do you need to work? Getting to therapy shouldn't stress you more. I keep late hours four days a week. Please check out my web site for an appointment.
