I believe in the power counseling can provide. Whether you are looking for some guidance managing stress or you are dealing with something more significant, counseling can help you discover your resiliency and define your path for healing. I can help you by creating a safe space where I can provide compassion, empathy, and encouragement. Finding the “right fit” in the counselor/client relationship is paramount to the healing process and I whole-heartedly believe this. I can help you by creating a safe space where I can provide compassion, empathy, and encouragement.
