About me
Telling someone that you barely know over the internet about your darkest secrets can be scary. However, the fact that you are trying out BetterHelp at this moment shows strength and courage. As someone who has gone through the process of seeking help with a professional therapist, I can understand your fears and hesitation. That's why I strive to understand my clients at a personal, heart to heart level. I see the process of counseling as similar to going on a journey, with lessons to be learned and blessings to be celebrated. I hope I can be a useful guide on this personal journey of yours!
