“Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.” ~ Roy T. Bennett
It can be very difficult to take the first step to seek counseling. My intent the moment you walk through the (virtual) door is for you to feel safe, cared for, listened to, and above all, understood. I am not here to judge or condemn. We all have our stuff. Life gets messy. Life can be complicated. We all need help. I am a people person, which means you have value, simply because you are. I am empathetic, I listen, I am real, and I can help.
My strengths are to first earn your trust, so you can feel heard and understood, and then to build self-esteem and confidence back into your life, utilizing real life skills that can help you with what you need. I believe we are put here on this earth to take care of each other.
I have the education, extensive training, background, tools, and strategies to help you get your life back on track. But, more importantly, you are taking the first step toward healing. I honor your bravery in taking this step, thank you for trusting me in this process.
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
