I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP AND THE HEALING QUALITIES THAT IT CONTAINS. IN OUR RELATIONSHP, SHOULD YOU DECIDE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER, I WILL:

  • Collaborate with you to ACKNOWLEDGE and ADDRESS the issues that you are struggling with

  • Partner with you to develop a fuller and deeper AWARENESS of your issues

  • Validate your experiences and pain as you give VOICE to them, maybe for the first time

  • Hold onto hope for you until you can start to feel HOPEFUL again

  • Encourage you to be VULNERABLE and step out of your comfort zone

  • Support you as you learn to ACCEPT and EXPERIENCE your discomfort rather than avoid it

  • Convince you that you have CHOICES if only you TRUST and BELIEVE

  • Help you navigate the POSSIBILITIES and guide you in the direction of CHANGE and GROWTH

  • Hold you ACCOUNTABLE as you step out in FAITH (and fear) and begin to do things differently

  • Provide you the skills to foster TRANSFORMATION and when necessary challenge the excuses and barriers to that CHANGE

  • CELEBRATE the ACCOMPLISHMENTS with you however small or large

  • And watch in AWE as you stand in your TRUTH, DISCOVER your inner POWER and become UNAPOLOGETICALLY AUTHENTIC!!!
