About
Life has its ups and downs. Through it all, we are told to persevere and let nothing deter you from stopping until you "make it". What we aren't told is that we CAN be helped along the way. What we aren't told is that we DON'T have to face that journey, that climb, alone. What we aren't told is that IT IS ok to confide in others and have someone to have your back during the hard times life tends to throw at you. If you are looking for that person, look no further: I can provide you that supporting role! Just hearing validation like, "I understand" or "I totally get where you're coming from" can make all the difference in the world! I enjoy utilizing aspects from a few therapy approaches. such as: Narrative Therapy is all about your narrative, as your story is your truth and is valid. SFT is used to focus on the solution, and less towards the issue, while providing praise and cheerleading for the small changes/victories made in life. Let's work together! I'm here to support you! You want to be heard, understood, and spoken to in a manner that is not condescending, disrespectful, and non-judgmental. Reach out to me. You WILL be heard, understood, and spoken to in a manner imbued with the utmost respect, kindness, compassion, and empathy. Currently, I have current availability on Saturdays. Contact me today!
