Putting yourself first does not come easily to everyone. However, it is actually the number one action you can take for a happy and successful life. I know how challenging it can be to prioritize yourself, since you were taught from an early age that others’ needs were more important than yours. When you attempt to put yourself first, you are considered “selfish." When you attempt to speak up you are considered “difficult.” If you are often made to feel wrong for having needs, and you are unable to set boundaries with others, then how can you expect to trust yourself enough to feel good, and respect yourself?

I want to know your dreams and aspirations, so that I can be most helpful to you, and offer guidance. You will take the lead, and naturally we will proceed at a pace that is comfortable for you. I am very interactive in sessions. I do not just sit back and listen. I ask a lot of questions because there are things that I want to know so that both of us can better understand you, and in order to keep us moving forward. You will surely benefit from the insights I have gained along my personal path as well as my 25+ years as a helping professional.
