Belonging. It is the very root of our most basic emotional human needs. The question is really not if you belong, but how you belong. And the most important relationship is the one you have with your Self.
As a professional counselor, I provide a safe, compassionate, informed and creative place to identify the issues and patterns in your life that are acting as the barriers to you living a more fulfilled life. In fact, they are the messengers of information that hold the key to what needs your attention. We will explore your strengths and challenges while discovering your unique authenticity and voice. We will explore your values and identify ways to take action to experience them. We will look at your relationships and learn communication and boundary skills to create the kind of relationships that you want and deserve. My focus is for you to find your way to claiming and belonging to your Self first. I specialize working in following areas:
