WELCOME!
Welcome to your victory zone!
When you attend therapy, I want you to imagine yourself in the boxing ring floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee, because this is the place where we focus on you gaining the victory over any unhealthy circumstances in your life. This is the place where you have a voice when you feel voiceless, seen when you feel invisible, priceless when you question your self-worth. In therapy, we will create a space for you to gain the life skills and knowledge needed so you can get back in the ring and continue to fight and grow into your best self. Remember, that you are unique in every way, so this journey may look and move completely different than what’s expected. Just remember, as long as you are continuing to work towards you, you will continue to thrive and win. My approach to therapy is hands-on, where I incorporate different activities to assist the journey to feel more personal. I look forward to going on this journey with you!
Just give me a call or write me to schedule your first appointment.
