My Approach to Counseling

Do you want to be heard? Do you feel like you have no personal worth? Is it ok to be happy and sad at the same time? When is the last time you gave yourself grace for not doing as well as you hoped? Do your obstacles from the past create barriers to your future? If so, I look forward to engaging in a therapeutic relationship to address areas of concern. It is important to find self-awareness and grace as we grow to where we want to be. Mental safety is just as important as physical safety.
