You are the expert on your own life.
One of the greatest regrets that many people have is that they never became the person they wanted to be. I’m passionate about helping you uncover your true potential and move beyond the barriers that are holding you back.
What it’s like to work with me…
Two realities to consider. On the one hand, you know more about yourself than anyone else. You are the best expert on yourself. You know what’s inside your head and heart. You know the mistakes you’ve made and the resulting lessons you’ve learned. And, most importantly, your instincts tell you when you’re going in the wrong direction – away from your needs and goals and dreams.
On the other hand, it’s also true that if you are struggling with an addiction or other out-of-control behavior, you may have what’s sometimes called “stinking thinking” going on. Your addictive way of thinking – minimizing or justifying your behavior – may have gotten you into a really bad place where you can’t figure your way out of it. So, you need someone with expertise and experience to help you find the next right steps. You are the one who is going to live with the decisions that you make, so you should have control over the process. But you need someone who can ask difficult questions at times or invite you to consider a certain course of action. In the end, you make the final determination.
I strive to be fully present with you in your sessions and to be comfortable with difficult emotions. When you feel cared for, you’re better able to let down your walls and talk about the difficult or scary issues – the things that need care and attention.
