Every person has the potential for growth. Yet, people can work very hard and not make progress. Old ineffective patterns, habits, even addictions, dominate and prevent happiness and growth. Hope can dwindle and lead many to believe they are broken or defective. There is hope! With extensive training and experience in treating trauma and addiction, I explore with you the reasons that patterns persist. I am invested in helping people understand themselves, as they build personal and relationship satisfaction. You can create a life, not simply existing, but full of creativity, connection and enjoyment. Working actively with compassion, I support my clients in their personal goals and visions, not telling people what to do, but helping them discover what they want, exploring how to move forward. Our work together can make your efforts worthwhile - removing barriers, increasing knowledge and implementing effective strategies. Let's set up a meeting! Although reaching out for help is difficult, your email will be an act of true self-care. Negativity and shame do not bring healing and most often we need a comforting supporter to help us see and interact with the world differently. You do not have to go through your challenges alone. Life can get better! Together we can explore solutions & pursue healing.
