I follow this creed so beautifully expressed my Susan Johnson, a well-known theorist and therapist: "The therapist is not then a composer rewriting a musical score for the client to lessen symptoms of discordance, but rather a conductor who knows that a full, vibrant song is already waiting to emerge." Throughout the process of working together we will uncover what has been contributing to stifling the song and how to make the changes that will maintain that authentic and true music in your life.  

Life isn't always easy, but getting the help you need can be. Relationship problems, trouble with your children's behaviors and attitudes, overwhelming stress and change, or confusing directions to take and decisions to make - all part of life, but sometimes a little extra support goes a long way...
