Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Our life experiences, particularly the difficult or traumatic ones, often change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Many of us reach out for therapy because we are struggling to cope with the difficulties of life and to find meaning in our day-to-day existence. My goal is to remove the barriers that keep you from feeling present, confident, and purposeful. I am especially skilled in working with those of us who have "followed the path" (school, career, marriage, family, etc.) but still feel as if something is missing.
