When working with me, you will feel the warmth and compassion and feel understood. You will learn insights about yourself as well as new skills whether it is it is how to identify that thought and challenge it in session, or how not to avoid that sensation and can we tolerate it and be more curious about it. One will walk away withknowing that they were able to feel safe to express their thoughts and feelings and knowing that the puzzle will be clearer afterwards.
