When my clients come to see me, they are looking to find a way out of the negative thoughts that plague them and cause them to derail their lives. Everyone deserves peace in their lives and to believe in themselves without being brought down. When they enter my office, they are totally accepted as who they are. The purpose of counseling will be to help them improve themselves and their lives in areas they are seeing deficits.
I will understand and accept you as you are. I do not believe my clients will be nor ever should be like anyone else. I don't believe in 'normal' and want you to see yourself as I see you, an individual that has value and purpose.
I will be here to help you accept yourself and see your worth. I want to help you be rid of the negative thoughts that plague you and the self-esteem crushing events that keep you down. I am not happy until you are. Come find me and let's chat.
