We all feel things in ways others cannot understand. I get it. I am definitely not your typical counselor, I have a back story that goes on for miles. I also started out with goals in life, dreams, and thoughts about how I wanted life to be. Just like you, my journey was sidetracked by paths that were unforeseen. At times, fun, tragic, and potholes and bumps that challenged my core. Making the choice to come to counseling is awkward. To have to admit to yourself we have unresolved issues is a milestone. The secret is if you are reading this, you are stronger than you believe.
It's a big difference between being there and doing versus someone telling you things will be okay. You have survived a lifetime, and have a unique story to tell. I enjoy walking that walk. Allowing to help process what you're feeling; what you’re going through can help you to heal the past. Most of all, I am here to listen.
There is a way to find that light, sometimes it’s hard to believe it, but it is there. Working with someone who's been in your shoes takes the edge away. Life is not all bad, there are many happy times buried in there as well. I'd like to meet you and hear your story, as someone who can help find a way to the happy ever after.
