Everyone needs to feel needed and respected! I believe this is a basis to having a good sense of self. However, sometimes life's circumstances prohibit us from being our best. Not feeling okay is fine but not getting support is not okay. We all have friends we can talk to but having a designated therapist to focus on you and guide you through relevant processes can be a boon to achieving your goals. With a compassionate ear and heart I am here to help you through those bumps in life. Why me? Because I have experienced these processes from all angles, I have taught them and I have learned from them myself. Let me be the one to help.
