Exhale. You have arrived at the right moment in your journey. Imagine your difficulties fading away like a bad dream in the rearview. You are moving toward your destination with confidence. Purpose. Butterflies. You’re Alive. And it feels inspired. What kind of therapist do you want beside you on your journey? An experienced traveler, no doubt. No stranger to life and death. Curious, warm, and open. Perceptive. Sees the beauty, heartbreak, irony, and even humor, in any given landscape. Instigates laughter. Invites silence. Beholds tears. Amplifies the good stuff. Kind. Respected. Affordable. Finds a way to schedule on short notice.
