Have you not been feeling like yourself lately? Are there some bothersome thoughts and feelings that are limiting you and holding you back from living your best life and thriving at your full potential? Maybe anxiety and stress are starting to affect your work, relationships, and quality of life.
It is my belief that you already have all the strength necessary inside of you to make the changes you desire in your life. With the right perspective, all of your past experiences whether negative or positive can be transformed into building blocks of strength. The counseling process will allow you to grow in perseverance and find your inner courage.
I am someone who can help assist you on this journey of personal growth and self discovery. I will walk with you as you find your true identity as someone who is unique, talented, and worthy of love. Please reach out to me I'd love to get to know you and see if we are a good fit! Currently supervised by Sarah Kincheloe, LCSW
