I believe the first step to all healing and change is to desire something different. The fact that you are considering counseling is a good sign. I would be honored to hear your story and be involved in your journey.
I am an exceptional listener with over 20 years of experience helping people in various roles. I work hard to provide an encouraging atmosphere that will help you find the courage to hope for something better and to risk trying something new.
In addition to other forms of therapy, I am trained in EMDR. EMDR is a treatment that is particularly helpful for victims of trauma. I would be happy to provide a free phone consultation to help us determine if we would work well together. I look forward to speaking with you!
