My journey to therapy At some point in time, everyone will need some sort of help. I became a therapist to help people overcome obstacles and challenges and live their best life. My goals for you I start goal setting by asking Clients what their overall goal really is. Identifying a starting point is my next step. I help my clients face and understand exactly where they are in terms of their goal/s. I explain why it is important that Clients are honest with themselves as well by examining where things currently stand.
