I believe that people can change (but not often for others) and that change most often happens when you are feeling uncomfortable enough in your life that it is scarier not to change than to take the leap that you know you need to take. I also firmly believe that all behavior makes sense in its context.

We will explore your context so that you can understand yourself and your motivations and choices better and more importantly, begin to make those transformations in your life and relationships. And believe me, as you change for the better, your relationships have no choice but to follow suit. It is a scientific law that changing one part of a system enacts change on the entire system because we do not live in vacuums but are always influencing and being influenced by our environment.

Additionally, our thoughts are exponentially powerful in our lives. They determine our moods and ultimately shape our lives through our behaviors and decisions. We will identify your thoughts and self-talk that is not productive and create a healthier, more productive way of speaking to yourself that will yield positive results in your life.

I always respect your viewpoint while I help you deal with specific problems, improve your relationships or develop better ways of living.
