MY APPROACH

You are a human being full of intrinsic self worth, purpose, and dignity. That's a given.
My hope in meeting you, is that you feel listened too, understood, and valued.  In fact everyone's story makes sense to me.
Your life makes sense!
Your story makes sense! 
The way you feel and think makes sense!
The emotional pain that you are experiencing because of your experiences makes sense to me!
In all my relationships the two most resounding comments I hear are, "you have given me hope" and "I feel so much better after I talk with you." To which I reply with a smile, "That's the point!".
How do we find hope, healing, and thriving in the midst of that pain is what we do together. 
I am honored that people share their life stories with me. In the process of active listening and in-depth conversations, patterns truly start to emerge. Basically, we all do what we do because it helped us to cope with our environment. When that environment no longer exists, we find we are using the same coping tools that really don't serve us anymore. When we explore those patterns of feeling and thinking, together we can better understand how to create a more beautiful and healthy life for you.
I look forward to meeting you!
