I'm sure this is something that you have been wanting to do for a long time and now that you are here you already faced the most challenging part. Take that next step. I am very proud of you! You should be very proud of your courage. I truly look forward to speaking to you.

We are living in a world that is forever changing. There is no stop or pause button to help us catch up or even adjust. We are constantly bombarded with various life challenges. Most times when we are in the middle of those challenges we forget to check in with ourselves. We forget to nourish our spirits, minds and body. When that happens it can lead us to a dark place where our traumas and how we deal with them come to surface. Counseling can help address all these things and more. I can provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help deal with those challenges. We can work together to help you create a plan that best fits your needs.
