Our initial meetings focus on creating a comprehensive plan to meet your goals. I guide you in altering your thought patterns to diminish the influence of fears, enabling you to enhance your connections with others and increase your meaning in life.
Together, we will explore patterns in your relationships, and work to establish relationships that are healthy, and meaningful. We will also explore unhealthy patterns keeping you stuck, and work to heal and resolve these issues.
