Life is hard! Whether it's coping with unexpected challenges, parenting, dealing with memories we wish we didn't have, learning about a new diagnosis or condition, or starting a new career or job. All of these things push us out of our comfort zones, and we struggle to deal with them. It is normal to feel like your world is a bit out of control at times and that you're not sure what to do or how to do it.

The key to a successful experience is a "goodness of fit" be tween social worker and client.
My ideal clients are those who are seeking to be the best versions of themselves. They are looking for an empowering and inspiring partner to begin their transformative journey. Each client brings their own unique experiences, gifts, issues, strengths, and goals to treatment. Clients often come to me feeling "stuck" or "stagnated, others may be grappling with career, relationship or health issues, while some are seeking a "shift" or a re-direction. No matter what their journey, I am supportive and nurturing without enabling and we will act together as a team.

The purpose of therapy is to feel better about your life. I listen to you and help you make connections so that you can better see how what you are doing, or have done, has made you unhappy. Sometimes the goal is to just stop hitting your head against a brick wall. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, genograms, and psychotherapy I will help you towards a sense of well-being and improved personal relationships. There’s no need to feel ashamed of your past. Better to understand your past, to reframe it and to turn the page. Visit the website at theratique.com to learn more.
