Description (2950 characters max)
Therapy is essentially akin to taking an individualized class in yourself - to learn the skills needed to more effectively relate to yourself, to others and to the challenges and obstacles you encounter as you aim to love and live, fully and powerfully. The more you know about how you tick, the greater your empathy and ability to read others, the broader your options, the more creative your solutions to life's inevitable challenges, and the more mindful and deliberate your choices and decisions, as you design the life you want for yourself.
Together we assess your strengths and build on these, while building the skill sets you need to create a life worthy of your life. Parenting challenges and effectiveness are a particular area of expertise.
