Welcome and thank you for trusting me to be part of and facilitate you on your journey, whatever that looks like for you! Investing in yourself is a brave and powerful decision, kudos to you for initiating steps towards change. I will WITH you, and toward YOUR goals. I have worked in various settings with different kinds of people and families. I specialize in codependency, addictions, family dysfunction and problems, depression and anxiety, low self esteem and am here to help you work toward your goals in a judge-free, safe space. However, I believe in direct communication (non-beating-around-the-bush approach) with warmth and genuineness. I am not afraid to think outside the box to help you achieve whatever change you desire. Remember, without pain, we would not make steps toward change and we would remain still. I look forward to working with you!
Rapport is so important; establishing a positive one, identifying their goals and what has worked or not worked in the past, and how I can help foster the changes they want to see in their lives.
Validation, meeting the client where they ARE. I have great experience with addictions, codependency and relationships, helping gain insight as to why we manifest certain behaviors that cause issues in current. I will not ever tell you what your goals should be, or what to do- the answers are within YOU and I help you find them as an objective yet supportive outsider.

Identifying what is in our power to control, or not is a big difference in how we sort and find solutions (or radical acceptance, meaning I am not trying to change, alter, what cannot be changed therefore sparing myself trying to control what one cannot and then view how that impacts them based on their history).
