Message to clients

Since you’ve landed here, I know you are struggling hard every day to keep your head above water. You’ve been coping, barely holding on for a long time. It took a lot of strength to even come this far. You’re terrified of being seen as weak or that you failed, but the effects of your job are causing internal and external chaos at this point. I’m here to tell you you are not weak and have not failed. You are completely normal and just need some help getting your life back where you want it.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most intimate and important relationships you may enter into. My approach may or may not be the right one for you and it is always my goal to help you reach your goals. That means if we are not the right fit for each other, I will help you find someone who you can feel more comfortable with.

I look forward to helping you reach your goals in whatever way I can do that for you.
