There is a way to develop coping skills unique to you; which will help you think and feel differently. I utilize a person-centered; nonjudgmental approach that incorporates your knowledge; talents; and preferences into skill-building. If you just need to get something off of your chest; we can process those thoughts and feelings together.I place equal importance on developing coping skills as enabling my clients to simply voice their concerns aloud to another person in a private; nurturing space.

If you are at the point where you want to learn the nature of your suffering and begin the work (it’s all mental); of changing whatever beliefs need to be released; let’s get started. This work will allow you to see for yourself your true nature and realize that without the thought and/or belief being held; all is well. Reality is simple when we don’t argue with it. Let’s inquire and see what’s true and what’s just a thought. You didn’t cause it but you can let it go and be free. Nothing that comes and goes is you; they're all temporary experiences.You’re here because you're ready! Believe that; it's true!
