You are the focus.  You leave the rest of the world outside our conversation and catch your breath. Start saying and thinking the things that seem unbearable right now.  Find your strength.

 

Sessions

50 minute sessions will allow us to discuss anything on your mind.  Over time we will uncover themes and patterns that seem to resurface in your various experiences.  You will lead and I will follow.  You decide what we talk about and what we don't.  I'll guide our sessions with your feedback.  Our goal is to have you reach outside your comfort zone but never be in pain.

“At the center of your being, you have the answer:
you know who you are, and you know what you want.”
— Lao Tsu
