In order to begin to feel the changes you want for your life, whether your goals are short or long-term, we need to work together bi-weekly for at least 12 sessions. I only spend my time working with people who are committed to changing their lives. You don’t have to know how we will get there or even have complete faith that it will happen, but you do need to be committed to showing up to at least 12 sessions.
