Hi! My name is Carolyn, and I am here to help. Do you need to vent, need someone to lend an ear, or someone to bounce ideas off of? We are all going through something, and sometimes it helps to have someone outside of your personal circle to talk with. I am here to help you work through immediate concerns going on in your life right now. I can also work with you to dig deeper into the bigger concerns you may have, for your situation as well as for personal improvement. We are all a work in progress! You lead the way, you are in charge of topics we cover, and I am here to provide a guiding hand, in a safe, non-judgmental space. I am typically available evenings and weekends but please ask if you have a specific time you are interested in!
