Life will always present us with challenges, big and small. It's how we get through those challenges that impact our lives the most. Oftentimes life seems insurmountable. Bottom line - it's on us, it's a choice. I will assist the client in navigating those challenges.  My goal is to guide the client with replacement thoughts and positive affirmations so that your thinking becomes more natural leaving you, the client, in a calmer more peaceful place with life. I will teach the client strategies and coping skills adapted to the clients need of use. I provide a safe environment in hopes that the client and I build rapport. I enjoy using metaphors, analogies, and storylines to help the client visualize the process. Your goal is my goal!
