General Counselor. Really good at partnering to impart some skills that may be able to help you address what's going on in your life, without the need for long term, ongoing mental health therapy. Let's be real, therapy is expensive, I know that. I'm interested in seeing how much I can give, in as quick of time, to create the most value for you, so you can use your hard earned money on the other things in life you would really like to be spending it on.
