My approach to counseling is that all individuals at some point can use an ear, a sounding board to work out an issue. Some issues may be bigger than others, some may appear bigger to one than another, but everyone can benefit from someone to listen and help work through that issue with, without judgement. I would be honored to lend an ear and help assist you in working out what is troubling you.
