I am not a psychotherapist; and, this is not insight-based therapy. My life coaching is for the mentally healthy individual (and survivor of abuse and/or torture) who wants to thrive. The focus will be on the present as well as defining and reaching goals for a more rewarding future. I do not offer any promises as to your future achievements. You, as a client, will take responsibility for all results and your achievements. This self-responsibility empowers you; and, you will hopefully gain a deeper sense of positive self-regard. We will work in partnership.
