You deserve to walk in this world- Authentic, Courageous, Joyful! I can walk alongside you on your journey to bridge between your current Self and your Goal Self. Let's creatively transform your current Relationship towards your Goal Relationship, as you define it. Together we can resolve conflicts, improve communication, reduce distress, and increase your self-esteem. Counselling helps to encourage positive thinking and behaviors towards clarity and wellbeing. "The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." Alice Walker
We can process experiences of mood, grief, life challenges, and mental health symptoms so therapy can help you bring your world back into focus. Let us together strive towards a morning when you wake up invigorated about your well balanced life.
Relationship areas addressed often are communication improvement, co-parenting, common goals, sex therapy, repairing betrayal, and blended families. Additionally I am a GLBPTT*Q, counseling specialist and a kink friendly professional. Your unique worldview beliefs and subculture communities are honored and respected here. We can all become our Best Selves.
