Message to clients
Self-exploration is hard, but worth it! Maybe you've seen therapists in the past, and now find yourself seeking more from therapy than someone to listen. I strive to offer you concrete takeaways from our sessions. My goal is to increase your awareness of the role you play in your own challenges, help you lean into the empowerment in that, while also building your capacity to navigate the roadblocks of life.
