Message to clients

Clients who reach out for therapy are already on the way to growth, and it is a privilege to be a part of that process. Acknowledging their situation and desire to better their lives is often humbling. I am passionate about helping others understand more of themselves and creating harmony in their productivity.

I sometimes see clients who need to discuss life events to process their experiences, while other clients are looking for more skills-based approaches. Still, I generally find that the more in-depth systems of IFS allow the client to truly understand themselves and gain healing throughout their inner system.
