About

You’re the reason.

Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here.

You’re the reason I do what I do. You fill my life with meaning and purpose. You’re it for me!

Thank you. Thank you for using the courage that’s gotten you through your worst days to start making the positive changes you desperately need.

Maybe you woke up this morning (or stared at the ceiling all last night) knowing that you can’t continue like this and you need to try something different.

Or maybe it’s been your worst day. You feel completely lost. Nothing you’ve tried seems to work.

…

There may be a part of you that’s still not quite sure… most of my clients experience some level of ambivalence or uncertainty about going to therapy.

Guess what! That’s okay!

Therapy is a risk!

You’re sharing parts of yourself – parts that, perhaps, you’ve never shared with anyone before.

And you’re sharing them with a stranger.

Yes, I’m a therapist – my job is to understand, reflect, support, and help you grow, but I’m still a stranger, at least for now.

You’re also investing your time and money into the process hoping for results that aren’t guaranteed.

You must decide.

Is it worth it?

Is the risk worth the possibility of the type of change you know would set you on the path toward a better life – one that transcends even your imagination?

Playing it safe generally leads to more of the same. You know that.

The type of change you’re looking for demands some sort of risk. Aren’t you worth that risk?

Isn’t the life you imagine worth that risk?

I understand. I welcome your ambivalence.

Part of you will probably be relieved. I’ll hear you, care for you, seek to understand you.

Another part may be saying “Danger!” Maybe you’ve been avoiding this in a misguided effort to protect yourself and stay comfortable in the discomfort.

It’s okay.

You’re welcome here. All of you.

There’s no time like the present!

I’m ready…

when you are.

What could life be like after therapy?

Have you ever thought about what your goals really are?

You’re one of a kind. What does the life you want look like?

In our very first session, you and I will work together to map out the path to your happiest and healthiest self.

More importantly, we’ll determine how you’ll know we’re making progress.

Imagine waking up well rested after a night that hasn’t been interrupted by anxiety, pain, or nightmares.

Imagine feeling prepared for – even excited about – the day ahead of you!

Your thoughts are more positive, your mood is stable, you’re intentional about your actions, you’re very aware of your inner strengths and power.

You can handle the difficulties that every day life throws at you without becoming overwhelmed.

You enjoy your relationships again… including the one you have with yourself!

You feel lighter, happier, cared for, and you know where you’re going.

You’ve CREATED your purpose, and you don’t let anything hold you back – not your past, not your own prior beliefs.

You’ve GOT this!

Therapy is a safe space.

When we’re working together, you’re safe.

You can truly be yourself.

You don’t have to fear criticism or judgment.

You can experience amazing growth and become the person you’ve always wanted to be – one who can solve problems or accept the problems that can’t be solved and move forward.

You can truly THRIVE!
