I enjoy helping my clients identify the barriers stopping them from reaching their goals and developing creative ways to overcome them. My clients tend to be entrepreneurs and creative individuals who feel stuck. They have so many ideas but have difficulty knowing where and how to start. Other times imposter syndrome is getting in the way. I don't believe in it taking years to reach therapeutic goals. My clients tend to see changes within weeks of our first session.
With a solution-focused approach, I help my clients get to the bottom of what is holding them back. During sessions, I will ask many questions to allow my clients to think about situations differently. I often give tasks or homework between sessions so that progress continues between sessions.
If you are ready to do some hard work and change your life, let's chat. I have immediate openings for telehealth services.
